This is a continuation of Niels Möller's work on an argp library for systems which don't provide one themselves (most non-GNU ones).

After noticing issues with executables built against argp-standalone 1.3, I decided to fork it and continue the effort.

This repository is the result of making a timeline with releases 1.0 to 1.3 (obtained from here) of the original argp-standalone, copying files from glibc 2.33 and fixing them up for compatibility, and finally some general clean up. I commited many trivial changes from the glibc version in order to make updating easier.

It is my expectation that this library will be useful to others. Feel free to open an issue or make a PR.
