Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install argtable on Fedora 34.

What is `argtable`

Argtable is an ANSI C library for parsing GNU style command line arguments. It enables a program’s command line syntax to be defined in the source code as an array of argtable structs. The command line is then parsed according to that specification and the resulting values are returned in those same structs where they are accessible to the main program. Both tagged (-v, –verbose, –foo=bar) and untagged arguments are supported, as are multiple instances of each argument. Syntax error handling is automatic. argtable 2.13 20.fc34 x86_64 37 k argtable-2.13-20.fc34.src.rpm fedora Cross platform C library for parsing GNU style command line arguments http LGPLv2+ Argtable is an ANSI C library for parsing GNU style command line arguments.
