Package: clig (1.9.11.1-3)

Command Line Interpreter Generator

Based on a simple specification file clig generates C-code for a function

     Cmdline *parseCmdline(int argc, char **argv)

which parses the command-line of a typical C-program and returns the result in a structure of type Cmdline. Besides parseCmdline(), the function

     void usage(void)

is generated and will be called by the command-line parser if the command line contains obvious errors. One of the main reasons to use clig is the automatic generation of a usage()-function which is always up-to- date with respect to the options actually understood by the program. Additionally, clig creates a manual page.
