<?php
// A quick and dirty command line argument parser. Written in about
// an hour, so you might want to take this with a grain of salt or two.
//
// Single letter options should be prefixed with a single
// dash and can be grouped together. Examples:
//
// cmd -a
// cmd -ab
//
// Values can be assigned to single letter options like so:
//
// cmd -a foo (a will be set to foo.)
//
// cmd -a foo -b (a will be set to foo.)
//
// cmd -ab foo (a and b will simply be set to true. foo is only listed as an argument.)
//
// You can also use the double-dash syntax. Examples:
//
// cmd --value
//
// cmd --value foo (value is set to foo)
//
// cmd --value=foo (value is set to foo)
//
// Single dash and double dash syntax may be mixed.
//
// Trailing arguments are treated as such. Examples:
//
// cmd -abc foo bar (foo and bar are listed as arguments)
//
// cmd -a foo -b bar charlie (only bar and charlie are arguments)
