Description

Cmdliner is a module for the declarative definition of command line interfaces.

It provides a simple and compositional mechanism to convert command line arguments to OCaml values and pass them to your functions. The module automatically handles syntax errors, help messages and UNIX man page generation. It supports programs with single or multiple commands and respects most of the POSIX and GNU conventions.

Cmdliner is made of a single independent module and distributed under the BSD3 license.

Installation

Cmdliner can be installed with opam:

opam install cmdliner

If you don't use opam consult the opam file for build instructions.

Documentation

The documentation and API reference is automatically generated by ocamldoc from the interfaces. It can be consulted online and there is a generated version in the doc directory of the distribution.

Sample programs

If you installed Cmdliner with opam sample programs are located in the directory opam config var cmdliner:doc. These programs define the command line of some classic programs.

In the distribution sample programs are located in the test directory of the distribution. They can be built with:

ocamlbuild -use-ocamlfind test/tests.otarget

The resulting binaries are in _build/test.
