+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make
+# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to
+# leave one space after the ':'.

+popt: popt (command line parsing library)
+popt:
+popt: Popt is a C library for parsing command line parameters. Popt was
+popt: heavily influenced by the getopt() and getopt_long() functions, but it
+popt: improves on them by allowing more powerful argument expansion. Popt
+popt: can parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays and automatically set
+popt: variables based on command line arguments. Popt allows command line
+popt: arguments to be aliased via configuration files and includes utility
+popt: functions for parsing arbitrary strings into argv[] arrays using
+popt: shell-like rules.
