Description
General command line syntax of GNU getopt and getopt_long, but is close to the spirit of the Arg module.

Getopt: command line parsing à la GNU getopt

What is it ?
The OCaml distribution comes with the module Arg specialized in command-line parsing. However, it doesn't support the well known features of GNU getopt and getopt_long.
The module Getopt is an alternative; it supports GNU syntax, but from the programmer point of view, it is close to the spirit of Arg: the programmer gives to the general parsing function a list of possible options, together with the behaviour of these options.
General usage information
The documentation is included in the file getopt.mli. There is an example in test/getopt_test.ml
