Introduction of Argtable3
=========================
**Argtable3** is an open source ANSI C library that parses GNU-style command-line
options. It simplifies command-line parsing by defining a declarative-style API
that you can use to specify what your command-line syntax looks like. Argtable3
will automatically generate consistent error handling logic and textual
descriptions of the command line syntax, which are essential but tedious to
implement for a robust CLI program.
Quick Start
-----------
> We no longer provide the amalgamation source code (`argtable3.c` and `argtable3.h`)
> in the source code repository. You can get the amalgamation distribution either
> from the release page (`argtable-3.x.x-amalgamation.zip`), or generate the
> distribution yourself by using the generator under the `tools` directory:
>
> 1. Navigate to the `tools` directory.
> 2. Run `./build dist`, which will generate the distribution under the `<ROOT>/dist`
> directory.
Argtable3 is a single-file ANSI-C library. All you have to do is adding
`argtable3.c` to your projects, and including `argtable3.h` in your source code.
To build the library, examples, and unit tests, use CMake to generate out-of-source build:
* If you use GCC (Linux, MinGW, Cygwin), run:
```
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make test
```
To cleanup, type:
```
$ make clean
```
* If you use Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, run:
```
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ..
```
Now you can use Visual Studio 2017 to open the generated solution. To cleanup,
just remove the `build` directory.
To build a tagged version, go to the project root directory, and use the
`Makefile` in the project root folder to check out the specified version:
```
$ make taglist
Available TAGs:
v3.1.1.432a160
$ make co TAG=v3.1.1.432a160
$ cd .tags/v3.1.1.432a160
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make test
```
You will find the shared library (or Windows DLL), static library, and the
amalgamation distribution under the build directory.
Documentation and Examples
--------------------------
To learn how to use the Argtable3 API, you can see the documentation on the web
site, or examples in the `examples` folder.
Unit Tests
----------
Argtable3 is a BSD-licensed open source library, so you can modify the library
anyway you want. However, before committing your code to your own repository or
the Argtable3 official repository, please make sure your changes can pass the
unit tests included in the distribution.

- **Moczik Gabor**: For bug fixes relating to the parsing of filepaths and filename extensions.
Argtable 2.x uses `getopt` from GNU, which is LGPL licensed. In order to switch to BSD, we replaced GNU `getopt` with NetBSD `getopt`. We really appreciate this high quality library that lays the foundation of Argtable 3.x and here is its copyright notice:

To build and test each default configuration (Debug, Release, MinSizeRel,
RelWithDebInfo), you can run CMake and CTest on all supported platforms:
```
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build . --config Debug
$ ctest -C Debug
$ cmake --build . --config Release
