What is argtable
Argtable is an ANSI C library for parsing GNU style command line arguments. 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.
