optparse-helper: Helper functions for optparse-applicative.

[ bsd3, library, system ] [ Propose Tags ] [ Report a vulnerability ]

The optparse-applicative package, as well as optparse-simple, has some undesirable behavior by default, and is quite verbose. This package exists to work around those two.

For instance:

  • optparse-applicative does not show help on error by default.

  • optparse-applicative does not disambiguate commands. So, if you have a command my-executable foobar, but your user runs my-executable f, optparse-applicative will not disambiguate this by default.

For more specific documentation, see the module documentation for Options.Applicative.Helper.
