popt is a command line option parsing library. While popt is similiar to getopt, it contains a number of enhancements. This version is based on the rpm5.org version of popt, rather than the rpm.org version. The rpm5.org implementation is more portable. The msys-popt package provides the documentation for the popt library. The associated msys-libpopt package provides the runtime library and development files. popt is a command line option parsing library.
