I am studying Boost Program Options library and I am curious, why was it choosen double dashes as the token to identify an option in the command line ?<br><br>Example:<br>my_program --help<br clear="all"><br>Would not a single dash be enough and less verbose ?<br>
What is the rationale behind that ?<br><br>Thanks,<br>-- <br>Mauricio Gomes<br>&quot;Think globally, act locally&quot;.<br>
