 *
 * \brief GIS Library - Argument parsing functions.
 *
 * Parses the command line provided through argc and argv.  Example:
 * Assume the previous calls:
 *
 *  opt1 = G_define_option() ;
 *  opt1->key        = "map",
 *  opt1->type       = TYPE_STRING,
 *  opt1->required   = YES,
 *  opt1->checker    = sub,
 *  opt1->description= "Name of an existing raster map" ;
 *
 *  opt2 = G_define_option() ;
 *  opt2->key        = "color",
 *  opt2->type       = TYPE_STRING,
 *  opt2->required   = NO,
 *  opt2->answer     = "white",
 *  opt2->options    = "red,orange,blue,white,black",
 *  opt2->description= "Color used to display the map" ;
 *
 *  opt3 = G_define_option() ;
 *  opt3->key        = "number",
 *  opt3->type       = TYPE_DOUBLE,
 *  opt3->required   = NO,
 *  opt3->answer     = "12345.67",
 *  opt3->options    = "0-99999",
 *  opt3->description= "Number to test parser" ;
 *
 * G_parser() will respond to the following command lines as described:
 *
 * command      (No command line arguments)
 *    Parser enters interactive mode.
 *
 * command map=map.name
 *    Parser will accept this line.  Map will be set to "map.name", the
 *    'a' and 'b' flags will remain off and the num option will be set
 *    to the default of 5.
 *
 * command -ab map=map.name num=9
 * command -a -b map=map.name num=9
 * command -ab map.name num=9
 * command map.name num=9 -ab
 * command num=9 -a map=map.name -b
 *    These are all treated as acceptable and identical. Both flags are
 *    set to on, the map option is "map.name" and the num option is "9".
 *    Note that the "map=" may be omitted from the command line if it
 *    is part of the first option (flags do not count).
 *
 * command num=12
 *    This command line is in error in two ways.  The user will be told 
 *    that the "map" option is required and also that the number 12 is
 *    out of range.  The acceptable range (or list) will be printed.

 * \brief Command line help/usage message.

 * Calls to <i>G_usage()</i> allow the programmer to print the usage 
 * message at any time. This will explain the allowed and required 
 * command line input to the user. This description is given according 
 * to the programmer's definitions for options and flags. This function 
 * becomes useful when the user enters options and/or flags on the 
 * command line that are syntactically valid to the parser, but 
 * functionally invalid for the command (e.g. an invalid file name.)<br>
 * For example, the parser logic doesn't directly support grouping 
 * options. If two options be specified together or not at all, the 
 * parser must be told that these options are not required and the 
 * programmer must check that if one is specified the other must be as 
 * well. If this additional check fails, then <i>G_parser()</i> will 
 * succeed, but the programmer can then call <i>G_usage()</i>  to print 
 * the standard usage message and print additional information about how 
 * the two options work together.
