  <modulesummary>Command line arguments parser.</modulesummary>
  <description>

    <p>This module implements command line parser. Parser operates with
    <em>commands</em> and <em>arguments</em> represented as a tree. Commands
      are branches, and arguments are leaves of the tree. Parser always starts with the
      root command, named after <c>progname</c> (the name of the program which started Erlang).
    </p>

    <p>
      A <seetype marker="#command"><c>command specification</c></seetype> may contain handler
      definition for each command, and a number argument specifications. When parser is
      successful, <c>argparse</c> calls the matching handler, passing arguments extracted
      from the command line. Arguments can be positional (occupying specific position in
      the command line), and optional, residing anywhere but prefixed with a specified
      character.
    </p>

    <p>
      <c>argparse</c> automatically generates help and usage messages. It will also issue
      errors when users give the program invalid arguments.
    </p>

  <section>
    <title>Quick start</title>

    <p><c>argparse</c> is designed to work with <seecom marker="erts:escript"><c>escript</c></seecom>.
    The example below is a fully functioning Erlang program accepting two command line
    arguments and printing their product.</p>

    <code>
#!/usr/bin/env escript

main(Args) ->
    argparse:run(Args, cli(), #{progname => mul}).

cli() ->
    #{
        arguments => [
            #{name => left, type => integer},
            #{name => right, type => integer}
        ],
        handler =>
            fun (#{left := Left, right := Right}) ->
                io:format("~b~n", [Left * Right])
            end
    }.
    </code>

    <p>Running this script with no arguments results in an error, accompanied
    by the usage information.</p>

    <p>
      The <c>cli</c> function defines a single command with embedded handler
      accepting a map. Keys of the map are argument names as defined by
      the <c>argument</c> field of the command, <c>left</c> and <c>right</c>
      in the example. Values are taken from the command line, and converted
      into integers, as requested by the type specification. Both arguments
      in the example above are required (and therefore defined as positional).
    </p>
  </section>

  <section>
    <title>Command hierarchy</title>

    <p>A command may contain nested commands, forming a hierarchy. Arguments
      defined at the upper level command are automatically added to all nested
      commands. Nested commands example (assuming <c>progname</c> is <c>nested</c>):
    </p>

    <code>
cli() ->
  #{
    %% top level argument applicable to all commands
    arguments => [#{name => top}],
      commands => #{
        "first" => #{
          %% argument applicable to "first" command and
          %%  all commands nested into "first"
          arguments => [#{name => mid}],
          commands => #{
            "second" => #{
              %% argument only applicable for "second" command
              arguments => [#{name => bottom}],
              handler => fun (A) -> io:format("~p~n", [A]) end
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }.
    </code>

    <p>In the example above, a 3-level hierarchy is defined. First is the script
      itself (<c>nested</c>), accepting the only argument <c>top</c>. Since it
      has no associated handler, <seemfa marker="#run/3">run/3</seemfa> will
      not accept user input omitting nested command selection. For this example,
      user has to supply 5 arguments in the command line, two being command
      names, and another 3 - required positional arguments:</p>

    <code>
./nested.erl one first second two three
#{top => "one",mid => "two",bottom => "three"}
    </code>

    <p>Commands have preference over positional argument values. In the example
    above, commands and positional arguments are interleaving, and <c>argparse</c>
    matches command name first.</p>

  </section>

  <section>
    <title>Arguments</title>
    <p><c>argparse</c> supports positional and optional arguments. Optional arguments,
    or options for short, must be prefixed with a special character (<c>-</c> is the default
    on all operating systems). Both options and positional arguments have 1 or more associated
    values. See <seetype marker="#argument"><c>argument specification</c></seetype> to
    find more details about supported combinations.</p>

    <p>In the user input, short options may be concatenated with their values. Long
    options support values separated by <c>=</c>. Consider this definition:</p>

    <code>
cli() ->
  #{
    arguments => [
      #{name => long, long => "-long"},
      #{name => short, short => $s}
    ],
    handler => fun (Args) -> io:format("~p~n", [Args]) end
  }.
    </code>

    <p>Running <c>./args --long=VALUE</c> prints <c>#{long => "VALUE"}</c>, running
      <c>./args -sVALUE</c> prints <c>#{short => "VALUE"}</c></p>

    <p><c>argparse</c> supports boolean flags concatenation: it is possible to shorten
      <c>-r -f -v</c> to <c>-rfv</c>.</p>

    <p>Shortened option names are not supported: it is not possible to use <c>--my-argum</c>
    instead of <c>--my-argument-name</c> even when such option can be unambiguously found.</p>
  </section>

  <datatypes>
    <datatype>
      <name name="arg_type"/>
      <desc>
        <p>Defines type conversion applied to the string retrieved from the user input.
          If the conversion is successful, resulting value is validated using optional
          <c>Choices</c>, or minimums and maximums (for integer and floating point values
          only). Strings and binary values may be validated using regular expressions.
          It's possible to define custom type conversion function, accepting a string
          and returning Erlang term. If this function raises error with <c>badarg</c>
          reason, argument is treated as invalid.
        </p>
      </desc>
    </datatype>

    <datatype>
      <name name="argument_help"/>
      <desc>
        <p>User-defined help template to print in the command usage. First element of
          a tuple must be a string. It is printed as a part of the usage header. Second
          element of the tuple can be either a string printed as-is, a list
          containing strings, <c>type</c> and <c>default</c> atoms, or a user-defined
          function that must return a string.</p>
      </desc>

    <datatype>
      <name name="argument"/>
      <desc>
        <p>Argument specification. Defines a single named argument that is returned
        in the <seetype marker="#arg_map"><c>argument map</c></seetype>. The only
        required field is <c>name</c>, all other fields have defaults.</p>
        <p>If either of the <c>short</c> or <c>long</c> fields is specified, the
          argument is treated as optional. Optional arguments do not have specific
          order and may appear anywhere in the command line. Positional arguments
          are ordered the same way as they appear in the arguments list of the command
          specification.</p>
        <p>By default, all positional arguments must be present in the command line.
        The parser will return an error otherwise. Options, however, may be omitted,
        in which case resulting argument map will either contain the default value,
        or not have the key at all.</p>

          <tag><c>name</c></tag>
          <item>

          <tag><c>short</c></tag>
          <item>
            <p>Defines a short (single character) form of an optional argument.</p>
            <code>
%% Define a command accepting argument named myarg, with short form $a:

3> {ok, ArgMap, _, _} = argparse:parse(["-astr"], Cmd), ArgMap.

#{myarg => "str"}
            </code>
            <p>By default all options expect a single value following the option switch.
            The only exception is an option of a boolean type.</p>

          <tag><c>long</c></tag>

            <p>If neither <c>short</c> not <c>long</c> is defined, the

          <item>
            <p>Forces the parser to expect the argument to be present in the

          <tag><c>nargs</c></tag>
          <item>
            <p>Defines the number of following arguments to consume from the command line.
              By default, the parser consumes the next argument and converts it into an
