No, all the args start with a single ‘-‘.

For example, with the following code:

po::options_description desc;

desc.add_options()

( "config-file", po::value< std::string >( & strConfigFile )->default_value( defaultConfigFilePath.native_file_string() ) );

I am able to call my program with a –config-file my_config_file.cfg command line.

Objet : [Boost-users] [Boost.Program_options] Is there a way to have alloptions specifiedwith a single dash instead of double?

I'm interested in switching over the command line processing of an existing tool to use program_options.
However, all of the args are of the format '-foo -bar -whatever 1' etc.
As far as I can tell from the docs it seems like by default the program_options library assumes args all start with a '--' or have single character short names that start with a single dash. Is there a way to coerce it into the behavior I'm looking for?

Thanks for any tips!
Guy.
