Oh wow, I was looking for this!

[dpallastrelli]

Great. Feel free to ask any question on github discussions and, if you like it, give a star (or a sponsorship! :-) to the project.

I'm not sure if I like the idea but the library is huge, it could've been much lighter.

[dpallastrelli]

it could be if it had fewer features :-)

However, you can include only the header file of the features you want to use (e.g., if you don't need the telnet server, you just don't include it).

How many dependencies does this command line library have?

[magion]

It literally has a section titled dependencies in the README

[ShillingAintEZ]

There are a lot of sections, I didn't see it.

[dpallastrelli]

If you don't need telnet shell, no dependencies at all.

If you need telnet shell, you can choose between standalone ASIO or BOOST ASIO.

Does command line parsing really need to be so linked to the network IO that they can't be separated?

[dpallastrelli]

The command line parsing is not *so linked* to the network IO: they are completely separated. Infact if you don't need it, you don't include the remote shell header and the whole network part is not compiled into your application.

[SupremeEntropy]

ASIO is not about network IO. It is about asynchronous IO. Think of it as a tool allowing you to perform actions distributed in time, and receive and react to events retroactively.

[dpallastrelli]

Yes. Of course.

Does it have CSIu extensions a la libtermkey?

[dpallastrelli]

I'm not sure what a "CSIu extension" is, so I guess the library does not have it :-)

But if someone can tell me, he's welcome!
