Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [program_options] Getting access to the remaining argv

Hi
Just a comment, no help sorry!
Some programs behave with command lines argument organized like:
shell> A -a -b -c -- -x -y -z
where -a -b and -c are options for A
and (after the --) -x -y -z are for B.
Unfortunately, I don't know if such mechanism is implemented
within program_options. If so, this is what you want and I'm
interested too!
regards
frc
