getopt for Visual Studio CRT?

Is there an equivalent to getopt() in the visual studio CRT?

Or do I need to get it and compile it with my project?

Edit clarification
getopt is a utility function in the unix/linux C Run Time library for common command line parsing chores i.e. parsing arguments of the form -a -b -f someArg etc'

+5 A:

Advice: boost::program_options instead.

it's nasty, but it suffices, i've used this in place of getopt too

It has minor nastyness until you get used to it, but then you have a whole bunch of benefits. It's a by-policy standard of cmdl parsing in my company.

+1 A:

You can use the getopt implementation from the GNU C library. It's licensed under the LGPL, which should be compatible with most software projects. See the file posix/getopt.c in the source distribution.
