program options config file format?
Hi About a week ago Mathias Kaepler posted the following question:
Hi,
the program_options reference talks about being able to parse config files, but doesn't mention a thing about its layout. No examples are shown how a file has to look like to be parsable by program_options.
Any ideas? Besides the layout, which characters are treated as comments? .

I have exactly the same question but have not been able to find the response that was given to Mathias. Would someone share it with me? thanks, Glen Stark

Example layout: ..\libs\program_options\example\multiple_sources.cfg (used by multiple_sources.cpp in same directory).

Anyone? Matthias Kaeppler
The only character I've found that indicates a comment is the '#' (pound/hash/sharp).
One other thing I've noticed is that the option names are case-sensitive, at least by default.
HTH.
