When using command line arguments, is better to use them as c strings and interact with them using the cstring header functions?, or is better to convert them to library strings for using them? (lemmy.world)

im new in c++ and i am creating a version of cat for practicing what i have learned so far. What im doing for managing the command line arguments is converting them to library strings and then using them, but now i have the doubt if it is the correct / most optimal way to do it

I'm not talking about professional projects. OP asked about making a pet project in C++.

Also, a lot of opensource software could jump forward in term of standard required ; I'm not saying that no professional project uses opensource library, just that we should start moving forward if we don't want to get stuck with old versions
