Command-line argument parsing library for Haskell programs

parseargs -- command-line argument parsing for Haskell programs version 0.1.3 Bart Massey bart@cs.pdx.edu 25 February 2010

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, 8, 10, 12} and various development versions on Linux. It is a fairly standard Hackage-ready package, to the extent I know how to construct such.

The 0.1.2 release includes a typeclass for argument types for easier use.

The 0.1.3 release includes more uniform and usable error handling.

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.
