Well, I wrote this package because I don't like to work with Console_Getopt.. Other people might like it, but I always end up parsing the args myself, using the same boring lines of code, and that's too bad because PHP from the CLI is really cool ! With this package, you can create a CLI tool in five minutes, without having to bother about the help, the arguments checking, the retrieval of values so you save time. All you have to do is think about which are the arguments you need, how many of them, and you are ready to code. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
