Version 9 of opt

Updated 2010-05-19 13:04:10 by oehhar

Purpose: Package for parsing command options.

Does this have a manpage?

LV It does not appear to have a man page. In fact, I have seen references on other wiki pages to this package being deprecated. I'm uncertain what is considered a successor to this package.

DGP The usual successor mentioned is the cmdline package.
