Beginning with v0.5.1 yes, you can set AllExceptionsDisabled = true and this will disable all exceptions thrown by GetOpt.
The same goes for enabling all exceptions. If you want exceptions to be thrown with each error, set AllExceptionsDisabled = false.
For more control, please use the IgnoreXXX properties in the GetOpt class.

  • Does getopt.net support Powershell-style arguments?
