Open-source alternatives to Gflags

Argh! A minimalist argument handler.

A simple to use, composable, command line parser for C++ 11 and beyond

CLI11 is a header-only C++ library for parsing command line arguments and managing configuration files. It maps shell input to typed variables and supports the creation of complex command hierarchies. The library is distinguished by its support for nested subcommands with infinite depth and prefix matching. It integrates configuration management by allowing application settings to be loaded from TOML or INI files, with the ability to fall back to environment variables. The project provides a comprehensive set of tools for argument parsing, including flags and positional arguments, alongside

C++11 port of docopt

cxxopts is a header-only C++ command line parser used to define required options, default values, and positional arguments for console applications. It functions as a lightweight utility for parsing command line arguments into typed values using short and long flags and automatically generating formatted help messages and documentation. The library provides capabilities for argument specification, allowing the definition of option descriptions, types, and boolean flags. It supports multi-value option collection into containers, default value management for omitted options, and the mapping of
