T2 package - trunk - popt - A command-line option parsing library

popt: A command-line option parsing library¹

This is the popt command line option parsing library. While it is similiar to getopt(3), it contains a number of enhancements, including:

1) popt is fully reentrant 2) popt can parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays while getopt(2) makes this quite difficult 3) popt allows users to alias command line arguments 4) popt provides convience functions for parsting strings into argv[] style arrays

popt is used by rpm, the Red Hat install program, and many other Red Hat utilities, all of which provide excellent examples of how to use popt.
