Automatically generate a custom command-line option parser from just the long-form help text for your program.

I am happy to announce release 1.1 of optparse.

Optparse's home page is at https://github.com/gvvaughan/optparse

This was the option parser I originally wrote for Specl, and later donated to lua-stdlib. I’m in the process of slimming down lua-stdlib in preparation for the next release though, part of which means that you can now use optparse without requiring the installation of all of stdlib.

This release tidies up interactions between optparse, and optional use of strict and of lua-stdlib's debug_init module, so that they work properly with those modules in LUA_PATH or not, in any combination.

Noteworthy changes in release 1.1 (2016-01-29) [stable]

New features

  • If lua-stdlib's std.debug_init module is loadable and has
    _DEBUG.strict set to false, then don't try to load the standalone
    strict module.

Bug fixes

  • Uninstalled std.debug_init is handled correctly.
  • optparse._VERSION is now documented properly.

Install it with LuaRocks, using:

    luarocks install optparse 1.1
