Sealarg | An easy-to-use command-line argument parsing library for C

Sealarg is a C library. Sealarg has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Sealarg is a command-line parsing library designed to be as straightforward as possible to use. It is a small wrapper around the POSIX getopt/GNU getopt_long utilities, written to hide the grunt work and learning curve associated with the getopt interface. Skip to the Getting Started section below for a demonstration of Sealarg in action and how to quickly begin integrating the library into your project. While getopt itself is a solid, standardized approach to command-line parsing, learning enough about it to attain a desirable level of robustness can often get in the way of the actual project it's being used in. Getopt has been widely used for decades and inspired many similar libraries in other languages, however other libraries such as Python's argparse have been developed with the intent of providing a much simpler alternative to verbose argument parsing. As such, this library lends much of its design choices to these newer alternative libraries.
