Ok, I found an answer here: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2004/11/76556.php I think this use case would be a great example for the docs! Sections are a very useful feature and it is nowhere stated in the docs! Ovanes. On Jan 15, 2008 6:19 PM, Ovanes Markarian <om_boost@keywallet.com> wrote:

Hello!

In my last project I remeber to see somewhere that boost::program_options library supports config files sections. But I can not find any hints to this feature in the current doc. Does anyone has an experience with sections in the config file?

With Kind Regards, Ovanes
