+     "Argtable is an ANSI C library for parsing GNU style command line
+options.  It enables a program's command line syntax to be defined in the
+source code as an array of argtable structs.  The command line is then parsed
+according to that specification and the resulting values are returned in those
+same structs where they are accessible to the main program.  Both tagged (-v,
+--verbose, --foo=bar) and untagged arguments are supported, as are multiple
+instances of each argument.  Syntax error handling is automatic and the library
+also provides the means for generating a textual description of the command
+line syntax.")
