console-program: Interprets the command line and a config file as commands and options

[ bsd3, console, library, system ] [ Propose Tags ]

This library provides an infrastructure to build command line programs. It provides the following features:

  • declare any number of "actions" (commands, or modes of operation, of the program);

  • declare options of the program;

  • collect options and actions from a configuration file and the command line, and execute the proper action.

It provides functionality similar to the "cmdargs" package. Main differences:

  • console-program does not use unsafePerformIO, and tries to give a more haskellish, referentially transparent interface;

  • it allows a full tree of "modes", instead of a list, so a command can have subcommands;

  • it parses a configuration file, in addition to the command line arguments.
