» Description
Preliminary note I am aware of the Console_GetArgs package which is similar to this package, but this package was written because we (in the company I'm working) needed features that were not possible with Console_GetArgs, mainly sub commands and xml definition files. I'll understand if these differences are too small for this package to be included, but I propose the package anyway. About Console_CommandLine is a full featured package for managing command-line options and arguments highly inspired from python optparse module, it allows the developer to easily build complex command line interfaces. Features: handle sub commands (ie. $ myscript.php -q subcommand -f file), handle xml definition files, generate --help and --version options automatically, can be completely customized by overriding the default renderer, and much more... Project at googlecode Installation Just run (with root privileges): `$ pear install http://console-commandline.googlecode.com/files/Console_CommandLine-0.1.0.tgz` And to uninstall: `$ pear uninstall Console_CommandLine-0.1.0` Documentation A tutorial is coming soon, meanwhile you can browse the API docs and look at the examples files below, they are pretty explanatory.
