+ "This is the popt(3) command line option parsing library. While it is
+similar to getopt(3), it contains a number of enhancements, including:
+
+ - popt is fully reentrant;
+
+ - popt can parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays while getopt(3) makes this
+ quite difficult;
+
+ - popt allows users to alias command line arguments;
+
+ - popt provides convience functions for parsing strings into argv[] style
+ arrays.")
