module Options.Applicative (
  -- * Applicative option parsers
  --
  -- | This module exports all one should need for defining and using
  -- optparse-applicative command line option parsers.
  --
  -- See <https://github.com/pcapriotti/optparse-applicative> for a tutorial,
  -- and a general introduction to applicative option parsers.
  --
  -- See the sections below for more detail

  -- * Exported modules
  --
  -- | The standard @Applicative@ module is re-exported here for convenience.

  -- * Option Parsers
  --
  -- | A 'Parser' is the core type in optparse-applicative. A value of type
  -- @Parser a@ represents a specification for a set of options, which will
  -- yield a value of type a when the command line arguments are successfully
  -- parsed.
  --
  -- There are several types of primitive 'Parser'.
  --
  -- * Flags: simple no-argument options. When a flag is encountered on the
  -- command line, its value is returned.
  --
  -- * Options: options with an argument. An option can define a /reader/,
  -- which converts its argument from String to the desired value, or throws a
  -- parse error if the argument does not validate correctly.
  --
  -- * Arguments: positional arguments, validated in the same way as option
  -- arguments.
  --
  -- * Commands. A command defines a completely independent sub-parser. When a
  -- command is encountered, the whole command line is passed to the
  -- corresponding parser.
  --
  -- See the "Parser Builders" section for how to construct and customise
  -- these parsers.
  Parser,

  -- ** Parser builders
  --
  -- | This section contains utility functions and combinators to create parsers
  -- for individual options.
  --
  -- Each parser builder takes an option modifier. A modifier can be created by
  -- composing the basic modifiers provided by here using the 'Monoid' operations
  -- 'mempty' and 'mappend', or their aliases 'idm' and '<>'.
  --
  -- For example:
  --
  -- > out = strOption
  -- >     ( long "output"
  -- >    <> short 'o'
  -- >    <> metavar "FILENAME" )
  --
  -- creates a parser for an option called \"output\".

  -- ** Modifiers
  --
  -- | 'Parser' builders take a modifier, which represents a modification of the
  -- properties of an option, and can be composed as a monoid.
  --
  -- Contraints are often used to ensure that the modifiers can be sensibly applied.
  -- For example, positional arguments can't be specified by long or short names,
  -- so the 'HasName' constraint is used to ensure we have a flag or option.

  -- ** Readers
  --
  -- | A reader is used by the 'option' and 'argument' builders to parse
  -- the data passed by the user on the command line into a data type.
  --
  -- The most common are 'str' which is used for 'String' like types,
  -- including 'ByteString' and 'Text'; and 'auto', which uses the 'Read'
  -- typeclass, and is good for simple types like 'Int' or 'Double'.
  --
  -- More complex types can use the 'eitherReader' or 'maybeReader'
  -- functions to pattern match or use a more expressive parser like a
  -- member of the 'Parsec' family.

  -- * Program descriptions
  --
  -- ** 'ParserInfo'
  --
  -- | A 'ParserInfo' describes a command line program, used to generate a help
  -- screen. Two help modes are supported: brief and full. In brief mode, only
  -- an option and argument summary is displayed, while in full mode each
  -- available option and command, including hidden ones, is described.
  --
  -- A 'ParserInfo' should be created with the 'info' function and a set of
  -- 'InfoMod' modifiers.

  -- | A 'ParserPrefs' contains general preferences for all command-line
  -- options, and should be built with the 'prefs' function.

  -- * Completions
  --
  -- | optparse-applicative supplies a rich completion system for bash,
  -- zsh, and fish shells.
  --
  -- 'Completer' functions are used for option and argument to complete
  -- their values.
  --
  -- Use the 'completer' builder to use these.
  -- The 'action' and 'completeWith' builders are also provided for
  -- convenience, to use 'bashCompleter' and 'listCompleter' as a 'Mod'.
