Readme for parseargs-0.1.2

parseargs -- command-line argument parsing for Haskell programs version 0.1.2 Bart Massey <bart@cs.pdx.edu> 28 September 2008 This library provides System.Console.Parseargs, a module to assist in argument parsing for Haskell stand-alone command line programs. To use this library, your program needs a structured description of the arguments it expects. It supplies this description to an argument parser, which creates a data structure from which parsed arguments can be extracted as needed. See the Haddock documentation for the gory details. I have used this code with ghc 6.6, ghc 6.8, and current GHC on Linux, although the current cabal setup has only been tested with cabal 1.2 and ghc 6.8. It is a fairly standard Hackage-ready package, to the extent I know how to construct such. The 1.2 release includes a typeclass for argument types for easier use. This is not what I set out to build. It definitely could also use some work. I use it all the time for writing little programs, though.I thought others might find it useful; I also have released other code that depends on it. Have fun with it, and let me know if there are problems.
