 <a id="details" name="details"></a>## Detailed Description

Command-line argument parser for simulation framework.

The `<a class="el" href="classsimulation__framework_1_1core_1_1CliParser.xhtml" title="Command-line argument parser for simulation framework.">CliParser</a>` class provides generic functionality to parse command-line arguments and extract simulation-related parameters, configuration, and input files. It helps in converting command-line input into structured simulation parameters.

 bool simulation\_framework::core::CliParser::Parse  ( int  *argc*,    const char \*\*  *argv*   ) 

Takes the command-line arguments and parses them.

Returns `false` if there is a parse error; otherwise, returns `true`.

Parameters argcThe number of arguments. argvAn array of argument strings. Returns`true` if parsing is successful; `false` otherwise.
