Hi,

I need a way of storing/retrieving options for an application. However, although boost::program_options seemed an obvious choice, it doesn't seem able to store options - it merly reads them in. I also couldn't find any documention on how its cfg files should be formatted for use with po::parse_config_file.

Could we please have a way of storing program options also? I couldn't find information on why this feature wasn't implemented in the rationale.

Also, documentation on how streams should be formatted for use with po::parse_config_file is missing.

It does allow options to be stored. See http://www.boost.org/doc/html/program_options/tutorial.html (in particular, section "Option Details"). Paul
