This is a library that can be used with Free Pascal sources to define and parse command-line options.

The library defines a robust parser that can process command-line arguments, as well as an application framework that builds and executes the LinearC parser automatically.

In general, the LinearC parser follows the GNU standards for Command-Line Interfaces and Argument Syntax. One notable exception is that the parser allows abbreviated options to have more than a single character.

For information on how to use the parser in your own source, see the series of articles that I've written on the subject. Note that LinearC relies on a pair of other libraries that I've written: classwork.pp and parsing.pp.

The documentation seen here was generated with a modified version of PasDoc. The classes hierarchy graph was generated using GraphViz.
