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.
