How to make programs for linux

• cargs

  1 138 7.7 C

  A lightweight cross-platform getopt alternative that is tested on Linux, Windows, FreeBSD and macOS. Command line argument parser library for C/C++. Can be used to parse argv and argc parameters.

getopt is definitely a solid option and a good choice for suggesting to beginners. I personally prefer cargs, and I never use getops anymore. You can check out cargs here: https://github.com/likle/cargs
