synopsis:            Utilities and combinators for parsing command line options
description:
    Here is a simple example of an applicative option parser:
    .
    @
    data Sample = Sample
      { hello :: String
      , quiet :: Bool }
    .
    sample :: Parser Sample
    sample = Sample
    &#x20; \<$\> strOption
    &#x20;     ( long \"hello\"
    &#x20;     & metavar \"TARGET\"
    &#x20;     & help \"Target for the greeting\" )
    &#x20; \<*\> switch
    &#x20;     ( long \"quiet\"
    &#x20;     & help \"Whether to be quiet\" )
    @
    .
    The parser is built using applicative style starting from a set of basic
    combinators. In this example, @hello@ is defined as an 'option' with a
    @String@ argument, while @quiet@ is a boolean 'flag' (called 'switch').
    .
    A parser can be used like this:
    .
    @
    greet :: Sample -> IO ()
    greet (Sample h False) = putStrLn $ \"Hello, \" ++ h
    greet _ = return ()
    .
    main :: IO ()
    main = execParser opts \>\>= greet
    &#x20; where
    &#x20;   opts = info (helper \<*\> sample)
    &#x20;     ( fullDesc
    &#x20;     & progDesc \"Print a greeting for TARGET\"
    &#x20;     & header \"hello - a test for optparse-applicative\" )
    @
    .
    The @greet@ function is the entry point of the program, while @opts@ is a
    complete description of the program, used when generating a help text. The
    'helper' combinator takes any parser, and adds a @help@ option to it (which
    always fails).
    .
    The @hello@ option in this example is mandatory (since it doesn't have a
    default value), so running the program without any argument will display a
    help text:
    .
 >hello - a test for optparse-applicative
 >
 >Usage: hello --hello TARGET [--quiet]
 >  Print a greeting for TARGET
 >
 >Available options:
 >  -h,--help                Show this help text
 >  --hello TARGET           Target for the greeting
 >  --quiet                  Whether to be quiet
    .
    containing a short usage summary, and a detailed list of options with
    descriptions.
