- FIXME: This item needs to be documented
+ lib for parsing cmdline parameters
+
+ Popt was heavily influenced by the getopt() and
+ getopt_long() functions, but it allows more powerful
+ argument expansion. It can parse arbitrary argv[] style
+ arrays and automatically set variables based on command line
+ arguments. It also allows command line arguments to be
+ aliased via configuration files and includes utility
+ functions for parsing arbitrary strings into argv[] arrays
+ using shell-like rules.
