Hi,

The page at
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/doc/html/program_options/howto.html#id2193081
says
that the "split_winmain function is a portable mechanism provided by the
library." Does that mean that the same code (containing the split_winmain
function, that is) will also run on Linux, for example? I guess it would
return normal args on Linux. Could you elaborate please?

In addition, could you please post a link to a cookbook-type recipe for
parsing windows command-line (that parses linux/unix command line as well)?

Are there any tutorials to get up to speed with program options -
especially, the windows command-line parsing stuff?

Best regards, Asif
