Showing a man page in C++ -


i created man page c++ application , show user when particular flag specified in command line. system("man myapplication") way this, or there better options?

i'd take nroff (text) output of man , stick either in code 1 huge string or in separate file depending on how many pieces program installs with.

calling system("man") requires lot of dependencies last thing unfortunate user wants deal after typing my_program --long-help. work fine in many cases, when didn't you'd lose important feature of program , have report rather silly "sorry: no long available".

this increase portability systems never had man program.
