I can't seem to find any documentation on what kind of file formats are accepted when calling boost::program_options::parse_config_file(...)
Am is missing it or is it missing? :)
I think your are right about that missing piece of documentation. However, the format is quite easy:
long-variable-name = value
At least that's how i use it. Hope this helps. Nevertheless, it seems that you can not use unknown variables in your cfg-files.
Thanks Sebastian. I would consider not allowing unknown variables in a config file to be correct behaviour. (The program should fail if you specify unknown arguments on the command line, and the config file is really just a substitue for the command line options). -- Tarjei
