Upgrade to use better switch method rather than getopt #59

Open Ulrond opened 1 month ago

Alternatives to getopt:

Argp: Part of the GNU C library, argp provides a more structured approach to argument parsing. It allows you to define argument specifications in a table-like format, including types, descriptions, and default values. This makes it easier to handle complex command-line interfaces.

Argtable3: A standalone library known for its comprehensive features and ease of use. Argtable3 supports a wide range of argument types, automatic help message generation, and error handling. Its modular design makes it adaptable to various project needs.

Popt: Originally part of the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) project, popt is a powerful library designed for parsing command-line options and configuration files. It supports both short and long option styles, automatic help generation, and nested groups of options.

this may not be required since we can support multiple switches via -p
