Subject: [Caml-list] [ANN] Cmdliner 0.9.0

Hello,

I grew tired of the Arg module. For a quick and easy way to make your
functions available from the command line you may be interested in
Cmdliner :

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
(like darcs or git) and respect most of the POSIX and GNU conventions.

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

Project home page : http://erratique.ch/software/cmdliner


The basics section of the documentation can be read as tutorial introduction:

http://erratique.ch/software/cmdliner/doc/Cmdliner#basics

Your feedback is welcome.

Daniel

P.S. The examples use syntactic constructs only available in 3.12
however I took care not to use them in the implementation of Cmdliner
itself.
