1# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
2# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
3# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
4# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
5# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
6# leave one space after the ':'.

9popt: popt (command line parsing library)
10popt:
11popt: Popt is a C library for parsing command line parameters.  Popt was
12popt: heavily influenced by the getopt() and getopt_long() functions, but it
13popt: improves on them by allowing more powerful argument expansion.  Popt
14popt: can parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays and automatically set
15popt: variables based on command line arguments.  Popt allows command line
16popt: arguments to be aliased via configuration files and includes utility
17popt: functions for parsing arbitrary strings into argv[] arrays using
18popt: shell-like rules.
