This is a fork of argparse project initially developed by Andy Goth andrew.m.goth@gmail.com.

See original repository, and wiki page.

Starting from 0.6 version, the base implementation is in C. Tcl-only version is still availible and will be availible in future with the same feature set. C version in order of magnitude faster than Tcl-only version due to cashing of the parsed once argument definition.

You have two ways: install from git repo (convinient for Linux users) or from archive package release.

Additionaly, package was added into "batteries included" Magicsplat distribution of Tcl8.6 and Tcl9.0.

To install default C implementation, run following commands:

• git clone https://github.com/georgtree/argparse.git
• ./configure
• sudo make install

During installation manpages are also installed.

For test package in place run make test.

For package uninstall run sudo make uninstall.

To install Tcl-only version, the sequence is the same, except the flag --enable-tcl-only provided to ./configure script.
