parseargs -- command-line argument parsing for Haskell programs version 0.1 Bart Massey bart@cs.pdx.edu 8 March 2008

This library provides System.Console.Parseargs, a module to assist in argument parsing for Haskell stand-alone command line programs.

To use this library, your program needs a structured description of the arguments it expects. It supplies this description to an argument parser, which creates a data structure from which parsed arguments can be extracted as needed. See the Haddock documentation for the gory details.

I have used this code with ghc 6.6 and ghc 6.8 on Linux, although the current cabal setup has only been tested with cabal 1.2 and ghc 6.8. It is a fairly standard Hackage-ready package, to the extent I know how to construct such.

This is not what I set out to build. It definitely could also use some work. I use it all the time for writing little programs, though.I thought others might find it useful; I also have released other code that depends on it.

Have fun with it, and let me know if there are problems.
