<p>Commons CLI -- version ##VERSION## (##QUALITY##)</p>
<p>The commons-cli package aides in parsing command-line arguments.</p>
<p>Allow command-line arguments to be parsed against a descriptor of
valid options (long and short), potentially with arguments.</p>
<p>command-line arguments may be of the typical <code>String[]</code>
form, but also may be a <code>java.util.List</code>. Indexes allow
for parsing only a portion of the command-line. Also, functionality
for parsing the command-line in phases is built in, allowing for
'cvs-style' command-lines, where some global options are specified
before a 'command' argument, and command-specific options are
specified after the command argument:
<code>
<pre>
myApp -p &lt;port&gt; command -p &lt;printer&gt;
</pre>
</code>
