simple-get-opt-0.5: src/SimpleGetOpt.hs

{- | Provides support for processing command-line arguments.
This is a simple wrapper around get-opt.
Here is an example of a typical usage:

> data Settings = Settings
>   { verbose :: Bool
>   , inPar   :: Int
>   , files   :: [String]
>   }
>
> options :: OptSpec Settings
> options = optSpec
>   { progDescription = [ "A useful utility." ]
>
>   , progOptions =
>       [ Option ['v'] ["verbose"]
>         "Display more information while working."
>         $ NoArg $ \s -> Right s { verbose = True }
>
>       , Option ['p'] ["par"]
>         "Process that many files at once."
>         $ ReqArg "NUM" $ \a s ->
>           case readMaybe a of
>             Just n | n > 0  -> Right s { inPar = n }
>             _               -> Left "Invalid value for `par`"
>       ]
>
>   , progParamDocs =
>       [ ("FILES",   "The files that need processing.") ]
>
>   , progParams = \p s -> Right s { files = p : files s }
>
>   , progArgOrder = Permute
>   }

Here is what the usage information looks like:

> *Main> dumpUsage options
> A useful utility.
> 
> Parameters:
>   FILES    The files that need processing.
> 
> Flags:
>   -v      --verbose  Display more information while working.
>   -p NUM  --par=NUM  Process that many files at once.
