Most users + will want to use the "System.Console.CmdArgs.Implicit" module, whose + documentation contains an example. + + * "System.Console.CmdArgs.Explicit" provides a way to write command line + parsers for both single mode programs (most programs) and multiple + mode programs (e.g. darcs or cabal). Parsers are defined by constructing + a data structure. + + * "System.Console.CmdArgs.Implicit" provides a way to concisely define + command line parsers, up to three times shorter than getopt.
