Package description for 'popt'

The popt command line option parsing library

 This is the popt command line option parsing library. While it is similiar
 to getopt(3), it contains a number of enhancements, including:
 
         1) popt is fully reentrant
         2) popt can parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays while 
            getopt(2) makes this quite difficult
         3) popt allows users to alias command line arguments
         4) popt provides convience functions for parsting strings
            into argv[] style arrays
 
 popt is used by rpm, the Red Hat install program, and many other Red Hat
 utilities, all of which provide excellent examples of how to use popt.
