+# OptsLib
+
+A very simple Options parser and command-line arguments
+handling library for PHP.
+
+## Usage
+
+The usage of this library is very simple, there are
+two functions that you can use to parse options.
+
+### parseArgument()
+
+Can be used to parse a single argument string/array, this is useful for
+parsing command line arguments. The second argument is the maximum number
+of arguments that can be parsed, this is to prevent infinite loops.
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+    require_once('ncc');
+    import('net.nosial.optslib', 'latest');
+    
+    $input = '--foo --bar="test" -y --username test';
+    $parsed = \OptsLib\Parse::parseArgument($input);
+    
+    echo $parsed['foo']; // true
+    echo $parsed['bar']; // "test"
+    echo $parsed['y']; // true
+    echo $parsed['username']; // "test"
+```
+
+### getArguments()
+
+This method is used to access the `$argv` array
+if it's not set, an empty array is returned.
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+    require_once('ncc');
+    import('net.nosial.optslib', 'latest');
+    
+    $arguments = \OptsLib\Parse::getArguments();
+    
+    echo $arguments['output-file']; // "test.txt"
+    echo $arguments['input-file']; // "test.txt"
+    echo $arguments['log']; // "verbose"
+```
+
+
+## building
+
+In order to use this library you need to install it
+via `ncc`, this can be done using NCC's command-line
+interface or mentioning this library in your `package.json`
+file's dependencies, for instance:
+
+```json
+{
+  "dependencies": {
+    "net.nosial.optslib": "nosial/libs.opts=latest@n64"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If you don't have N64's repository added to your NCC
+configuration, you can add it using the following command:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo ncc source add --name n64 --type gitlab --host git.n64.cc
+```
+
+
+Building is done using [NCC](https://git.n64.cc/nosial/ncc), 
+you can build it using the following command:
+
+```bash
+$ git clone https://git.n64.cc/nosial/libs/optslib.git
+$ cd optlibs
+
+$ ncc build --config release
+# or
+$ make release
+```
+
+### installing
+
+Once you have built the library, you can install it using 
+the following command:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo ncc install -p="build/release/net.nosial.optslib.ncc"
+# or
+$ sudo make install
+```
+

+for more information.

+If you want to contribute to this project, you can do so by
+creating a merge request on the [GitLab repository](https://git.n64.cc/nosial/libs/optslib).
