    @version 2.8

    @brief A cross-platform command line library which can parse almost any
    of the standard command line formats in use today. It is designed explicitly
    to be portable to any platform and has been tested on Windows and Linux.
    See CSimpleOptTempl for the class definition.

    @section features FEATURES

    -   MIT Licence allows free use in all software (including GPL and commercial)
    -   multi-platform (Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2K/XP, Linux, Unix)
    -   supports all lengths of option names:
        <table width="60%">
            <tr><td width="30%"> -           <td>switch character only (e.g. use stdin for input)
            <tr><td> -o          <td>short (single character)
            <tr><td> -long       <td>long (multiple character, single switch character)
            <tr><td> --longer    <td>long (multiple character, multiple switch characters)
        </table>
    -   supports all types of arguments for options:
        <table width="60%">
            <tr><td width="30%"> --option        <td>short/long option flag (no argument)
            <tr><td> --option ARG    <td>short/long option with separate required argument
            <tr><td> --option=ARG    <td>short/long option with combined required argument
            <tr><td> --option[=ARG]  <td>short/long option with combined optional argument
            <tr><td> -oARG           <td>short option with combined required argument
            <tr><td> -o[ARG]         <td>short option with combined optional argument
        </table>
    -   supports options with multiple or variable numbers of arguments:
        <table width="60%">
            <tr><td width="30%"> --multi ARG1 ARG2      <td>Multiple arguments
            <tr><td> --multi N ARG-1 ARG-2 ... ARG-N    <td>Variable number of arguments
        </table>
    -   supports options which do not use a switch character. i.e. a special word
        which is construed as an option. e.g. "foo.exe open /directory/file.txt"
        supports clumping of multiple short options (no arguments) in a string, e.g.
        "foo.exe -abcdef file1" <==> "foo.exe -a -b -c -d -e -f file1"
    -   automatic recognition of a single slash as equivalent to a single hyphen
        on Windows, e.g. "/f FILE" is equivalent to "-f FILE".
    -   file arguments can appear anywhere in the argument list:
        "foo.exe file1.txt -a ARG file2.txt --flag file3.txt file4.txt"
        files will be returned to the application in the same order they were supplied
        on the command line
    -   short-circuit option matching: "--man" will match "--mandate"
        invalid options can be handled while continuing to parse the command line
        valid options list can be changed dynamically during command line processing,
        i.e. accept different options depending on an option supplied earlier in the
        command line.
    -   implemented with only a single C++ header file
    -   uses no C runtime or OS functions
    -   char, wchar_t and Windows TCHAR in the same program
    -   complete working examples included
    -   compiles cleanly at warning level 4 (Windows/VC.NET 2003), warning level
        3 (Windows/VC6) and -Wall (Linux/gcc)

    @section usage USAGE

    The SimpleOpt class is used by following these steps:

    <ol>
    <li> Include the SimpleOpt.h header file

        <pre>
        \#include "SimpleOpt.h"
        </pre>

    <li> Define an array of valid options for your program.

        <pre>
        @link CSimpleOptTempl::SOption CSimpleOpt::SOption @endlink g_rgOptions[] = {
            { OPT_FLAG, _T("-a"),     SO_NONE    }, // "-a"
            { OPT_FLAG, _T("-b"),     SO_NONE    }, // "-b"
            { OPT_ARG,  _T("-f"),     SO_REQ_SEP }, // "-f ARG"
            { OPT_HELP, _T("-?"),     SO_NONE    }, // "-?"
            { OPT_HELP, _T("--help"), SO_NONE    }, // "--help"
            SO_END_OF_OPTIONS                       // END
        };
        </pre>

        Note that all options must start with a hyphen even if the slash will
        be accepted. This is because the slash character is automatically
        converted into a hyphen to test against the list of options. For example,
        the following line matches both "-?" and "/?" (on Windows).

        <pre>
        { OPT_HELP, _T("-?"),     SO_NONE    }, // "-?"
        </pre>

   <li> Instantiate a CSimpleOpt object supplying argc, argv and the option table

        <pre>
        @link CSimpleOptTempl CSimpleOpt @endlink args(argc, argv, g_rgOptions);
        </pre>

   <li> Process the arguments by calling Next() until it returns false. On each call,
        first check for an error by calling LastError(), then either handle the error
        or process the argument.

        <pre>
        while (args.Next()) {
            if (args.LastError() == SO_SUCCESS) {
                handle option: use OptionId(), OptionText() and OptionArg()
            }
            else {
                handle error: see ESOError enums
            }
        }
        </pre>

   <li> Process all non-option arguments with File(), Files() and FileCount()

        <pre>
        ShowFiles(args.FileCount(), args.Files());
        </pre>

    </ol>

    @section notes NOTES

    -   In MBCS mode, this library is guaranteed to work correctly only when all
        option names use only ASCII characters.
