// How to parse command line arguments - Duncan Gibson 2010-10-23
//
// First posted in https://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.general+v:22493
// in thread "fltk-1.x : parsing command line arguments"
//
// Shows how to decode additional command line arguments using Fl::args()
// on top of the "standard" options used by the toolkit itself.
//
// Note that this only handles "option separateValue" rather than the
// usual *nix idiom of "option=value", and provides no validation nor
// conversion of the parameter string into ints or floats.

* If there is no match, Fl::args() will then call Fl::arg() as fallback
* to try to match the "standard" FLTK parameters.
*
* Returns 2 if argv[i] matches with required parameter in argv[i+1],
* returns 1 if argv[i] matches on its own,
* returns 0 if argv[i] does not match.
