Getopt wrapper software simplifies command-line argument parsing in C or C++ programs.
One thing that I found particularly helpful was that it increases the chance that documentation is actually written. When you have a large codebase, it's important to have up-to-date and accurate documentation to help keep everything running smoothly.
As far as installation goes, it's a breeze for end-users. There is only one file to take care of - process-getopt - and it can be placed anywhere on the PATH, such as /usr/local/bin. For developers who intend to create scripts using process-getopt, it's recommended to also install the man page somewhere on MANPATH, like /usr/local/share/man/man1.
Overall, I highly recommend checking out the process_getopt project for any bash script developers out there. It's a fantastic tool that can make your life a lot easier.
