+command-line options.  It provides a declarative API to define your
+command-line syntax, and because it's built on the standard getopt library, it
+ensures 100% GNU-compliant behavior.  Argtable3 automatically generates the
+error-handling logic and usage descriptions that are essential for any robust
+command-line program, saving you from tedious boilerplate code.")
