Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2011 01:28:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <n5on77hs0gl82obpjb05l3o753gsc2ueq9@4ax.com> (raw)
I'd like to package and maintain libargp for Cygwin. argp is a C interface for
processing command line arguments.
The libargp source files are taken from gnulib. gnulib is a well-known program
available in major Linux distros (e.g. http://packages.debian.org/sid/gnulib),
but I'm not aware of any distros that separately package just argp from it. So
I'm not sure if libargp needs to be voted on or not for inclusion in Cygwin.

sdesc: "Interface for parsing command line arguments"
ldesc: "Argp is an interface for parsing unix-style argument vectors. Argp
provides features unavailable in the more commonly used getopt interface,
including automatically producing output in response to the '--help' and
'--version' options. Argp also provides the ability to merge several
independently defined option parsers into one, mediating conflicts between
them and making the result appear seamless. A library can export an argp option
parser that user programs might employ in conjunction with their own option
parsers, resulting in less work for the user programs. Some programs may use
only argument parsers exported by libraries, thereby achieving consistent and
efficient option-parsing for abstractions implemented by the libraries."
