CLI-Startup Every command-line script does (or should) accept command-line options, at the very least a --help option, and should allow default options to be specified in a "resource" file, named by default $HOME/.SCRIPTNAMErc. This package accepts a simple hash of command-line options and uses it to generate command-line processing, a --help message, and resource-file processing. These are all annoying chores that every script needs, and that are always essentially identical but for the specific options supported.
