writing linux console application
 

Hi

I'm trying to write a simple, console based application in linux, in c++. I know how to start in Eclipse and I have some experience in c++ from Windoze.
I would like to ask, if there is some tutorial available on writing console apps. I mean, I know from using linux that there are two conventions on using parameters in command line (-v and --version for example). Are there any similar guidelines I should be aware before I start?

The page you linked to is indeed very informative. Thanks.
