# The devel/popt port

## popt-1.16p1 – getopt(3)-like library with a number of enhancements

## Description

    This is the popt command line option parsing library. While it is similar
    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 convenience functions for parsing strings
               into argv[] style arrays
