Dear Shaolin,
First, please get acquainted with this, it is really useful to read this:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs

Second, boost::program_options may help you, if I understand what you need.

Please, make some investigation and tries - before asking other boost
users about some question.
It will make people think you respect time of others.
