# The devel/hs-cmdlib port

## hs-cmdlib-0.3.5p2 – command line parsing and online help

## Description

    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.
