74// wxCmdLineParser is a class for parsing command line.
75//
76// It has the following features:
77//
78// 1. distinguishes options, switches and parameters; allows option grouping
79// 2. allows both short and long options
80// 3. automatically generates the usage message from the cmd line description
81// 4. does type checks on the options values (number, date, ...)
82//
83// To use it you should:
84//
85// 1. construct it giving it the cmd line to parse and optionally its desc
86// 2. construct the cmd line description using AddXXX() if not done in (1)
87// 3. call Parse()
88// 4. use GetXXX() to retrieve the parsed info
