Release %%VERSION%%
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.

Cmdliner can be installed with opam:
opam install cmdliner
If you don't use opam consult the opam file for build
instructions.
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.
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.
