| This is the popt(3) 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(3) makes this quite difficult |
| 3) popt allows users to alias command line arguments |
| 4) popt provides convience functions for parsing strings |
| into argv[] style arrays |
| |
| Complete documentation on popt(3) is available in popt.ps (included in this |
| tarball), which is excerpted with permission from the book "Linux |
| Application Development" by Michael K. Johnson and Erik Troan (available |
| from Addison Wesley in May, 1998). |

| Comments on popt should be addressed to popt-devel@rpm5.org. |
