## Examples

|

```c++
|
||||
#include "argparse/argparse.hpp"
|
||||
|
||||
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
std::string maybePrint;
|
||||
int repeats = 1;
|
||||
|
||||
// Inform the parser of the program data.
|
||||
// It will do type-specific conversion
|
||||
p.add_option(repeats, "--repeat");
|
||||
p.add_flag(verbose, "--verbose", "-v");
|
||||
p.add_positional(toPrint)->required();
|
||||
auto psnl = p.add_positional(maybePrint);
|
||||
|
||||
// If there was an error during parsing, report it.
|
||||
if (!p.parse(argc, argv)) {
|
||||
std::cerr << p.help();

||||
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
// Execute the program logic
|
||||
if (verbose) {

||||
std::cerr << "about to print '" << toPrint << "' " << repeats << " times";
|

|
||||

## Roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] examples
|
||||
- [ ] Reject duplicate flags / options
|
||||
- [ ] Help string output
|
||||
- [ ] support --long-option=value
|
||||
- [ ] have the last positional argument fill a vector with remaining
