There's the getopt librqry (GNU) and boost also has a facility (the program_options library). Getopt is pretty standard in GNU/Linux C programming.

I just looked up an example and it demonstrated using this with command 
line args. I'm hoping to parse a config file much like the style apache 
uses, is this the right option for that kind of thing? How does one 
adapt it for that?

I could see that I could just open the config file and parse through all 
the lines using regexp's, but maybe that is not the smart way to do it?
