A commandline parsing library, based on getopt. Comes with a
|
|
powerful attribute system. Supports complex interfaces with many
|
|
options and commands, with option & command grouping, with simple
|
|
and convenient API. Even though quite powerful, it strives to keep
|
|
simple things simple. The library uses "System.Console.GetOpt" as
|
|
its backend.
|
|
|
|
In comparison to the other commandline handling libraries:
|
|
|
|
Compared to cmdargs, cmdlib has a pure attribute system and is
|
|
based on GetOpt for help formatting & argument parsing. Cmdlib may
|
|
also be more extendable due to typeclass design, and can use
|
|
user-supplied types for option arguments.
|
|
|
|
Cmdargs >= 0.4 can optionally use a pure attribute system,
|
|
although this is clearly an add-on and the API is a second-class
|
|
citizen in relation to the impure version.
|
|
|
|
GetOpt and parseargs both require explicit flag representation, so
|
|
they live a level below cmdlib. GetOpt is in fact used as a
|
|
backend by cmdlib.
