Write a command line argument parser #7

Open spaulaus opened 7 years ago

spaulaus commented 7 years ago

I would like to break away from getopt for this since it's not terribly flexible. This would also allow us to store the longer help messages that were desired in pixie16/paass:#198.

This is related to spaulaus/paass-lc#3

Can we use Cory's parser as a framework?

spaulaus commented 7 years ago

No that parser is still built on getopt

The parsing is finished, it has some limitations:

Ignores repeated arguments
Does not handle arguments of the form --long_arg=value
