Detailed Description

Declarations for the obsolete OptionVar class.

The OptionVar class provides a simple interface for setting options from the command line. Any variable of type {int, unsigned int, double, char*, bool} can be associated with a name, and that variable can be set transparently from the command line. The pseudocode syntax is: --------------------------------------------

     << In Program >>
     
     [type] Variable = Default_Value;
     OptionVar MyOptions;
     MyOptions.AddOption( "Name",Variable );
     MyOptions.ParseOptions( Input );
     ...
     UserFunction( Variable );
     
     << Command Line >>
     
     MyProgram Name=Value ...

--------------------------------------------

WARNING: OptionVar is considered obsolete as of 6/2006. It's only provided for backward compatibility, and will be removed soon. Use the Options class instead.
