I've been looking at sources of other programs and I've seen some that use getopt... I believe it is used to parse command line arguments but I still don't understand what it is exactly, and I have no idea of how could I put it in my code.
Could someone orient me with this one? What exactly is it and how could I use it in my own programs? I use MinGW with MSYS on Windows XP, just in case.
Thanks!
Use Google.

[edit] getopt() should exist in MinGW. (Google thinks so too.) It's a Linux/GNU/POSIX thing, but then MinGW is a port of GCC. [/edit]

geeze... everything is included with my compiler, I should've just checked the documentation. Sorry for bothering.
Thanks.
