[ale] Complex Parsing

[Christopher Fowler]

I'm using C.  Everything is in the argv array.

I can use a serious of strcmp()'s to see is one argv[X] = "home".  Then
set argv[x+1] as the argument.

I'm creating a config program the is plain language based.  I can use
getopt.  Getopt requires tokens.  My tokes would be "home" etc..

Chris

Looks an awful lot like
  useradd -d /home/jose -p cuervo jose

Seriously, if you want to use perl, you the @argv array.
If you are using C, you have the argv array.
Shell scripts, you have $0, $1, etc.

What are you using?
