ldesc: "Argp is an interface for parsing unix-style argument vectors. Argp
provides features unavailable in the more commonly used getopt interface,
including automatically producing output in response to the '--help' and
'--version' options.  Argp also provides the ability to merge several
independently defined option parsers into one, mediating conflicts between
them and making the result appear seamless. A library can export an argp option
parser that user programs might employ in conjunction with their own option
parsers, resulting in less work for the user programs. Some programs may use
only argument parsers exported by libraries, thereby achieving consistent and
efficient option-parsing for abstractions implemented by the libraries."
