89// wxCmdLineParser is a class for parsing command line.
90//
91// It has the following features:
92//
93// 1. distinguishes options, switches and parameters; allows option grouping
94// 2. allows both short and long options
95// 3. automatically generates the usage message from the cmd line description
96// 4. does type checks on the options values (number, date, ...)
97//
98// To use it you should:
99//
100// 1. construct it giving it the cmd line to parse and optionally its desc
101// 2. construct the cmd line description using AddXXX() if not done in (1)
102// 3. call Parse()
103// 4. use GetXXX() to retrieve the parsed info
