Hm.. maybe i explained it wrong.
My problem is not to pass a argument to the application.

What i want is a clever mechanism to store the SemVer (or Commit-ID) in
the binary at compiletime - automatically. Otherwise i have to think to
update a const in the code every time i build a new Version.

Use "git describe" to get the latest tag and/or commit hash. Use the "preGenerateCommands" field in Dub to generate the version before compiling the application. Write the result of "git describe" to a file and import that file in the application.

Use std.getopt to parse the command line arguments.
