C++ subcommand-like argument parsing -

i'm writing program in c++ expected behave svn, or systemctl, or other tools:

./a.out subcommand [option]... arguments-for-the-subcommand 

an example following:

./a.out remove --recursive directory1 directory2 

the --recursive option valid remove subcommand.

i'm using boost.programoptions, , have had no luck in tries (the thing have right program accepts arguments gnu getopt way). although prefer wide-tested, there's no problem in switching library if portable , job properly.

thanks in advance, , sorry if question not explained.

best regards, kalrish.

p.s.: not sure if of help, i'm using gcc 4.7.2.

it should pretty simple boost program-options, can construct multiple option lists.

you create 1 each sub-command, , check argv[1] see subcommand , use correct option list.
