Dennis E. Hamilton commented on COR-26:
---------------------------------------
I'm into that sort of thing.
I think it would be useful to have it at a library level for use by as many
command-line tools we come up with. Not certain whether this would lead to
another external dependency or not.
I will look into this. I think I would look at transposing the Apache Commons
version first, simply because of licensing. There might be a more-direct
solution in C already, though.
> Recommend standard getopt_longs for the utilities

> Project: Corinthia
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Consumers - dftest
> Reporter: Dennis E. Hamilton
> Fix For: 0.5

>
> It is recommended that the command-line utilities provided by Corinthia use a
> common getopt model with single-letter options, verbose word options and
> common shared options (--version, --help, etc.). stdin, stdout, and stderr
> should be redirectable (via the shell) and the utilities should work with
> pipes (with appropriate encoding caveats).
> The same flavors can be used for all platforms, with filenames given in
> platform-specific form (and "..." where needed) but parameters and options
> the same across platforms.
> The GNU getopt_long approach is widely-used.
