These two tools had ad-hoc command loops with similar options, and I want to extend both (in particular, in a way that introduces options with arguments). So I've started by throwing together some common code to do all the tedious bits like finding option arguments wherever they might be, throwing errors, handling "--" and so on. Should be no functional change to the existing command-line syntax, except that now all long options are recognised in both "-foo" and "--foo" form.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
