optz

Easy command parser written in C with ZERO memory waste.

Introduction

This project aims to provide a simple option parser for development of cli applications.

The main requirement is to keep the memory usage as low as possible, with zero waste, in order to make it suitable for embedded projects.

Example

[-n] [-v] [--force | -f] [--interactive | -i] [--patch | -p] [--edit | -e] [--[no-]all | --[no-]ignore-removal | [--update | -u]] [--intent-to-add | -N] [--refresh] [--ignore-errors] [--ignore-missing] [--] [...]

  { "-n", "--names  <N1,N2,...>" , "Comma separeted list of names"    , OPTZ_REQUIRED },
