description:

Reads an interface description file, and writes a file containing a command-line parser function. Generates a C function that calls the getopt_long function to parse command line options, to validate them, fill a struct, or output a usage message. Can also generate functions to save command line options into an rc file, and to read command line options from an rc file. Handles long options starting with '--' and short options starting with '-' followed by one character, without parameters and with 11 types of parameters (including flag, int, double, string, and function call).
