## What it is
A terse-syntax command line argument parser library for .NET with F# support. This original repository has been moved to the commandlineparser organization and is no longer maintained here.

## Use cases
- parse command line arguments in a C# app
- define CLI options with terse syntax in .NET
- add argument parsing to an F# console program
- handle flags and options in a .NET tool
- validate command line input in .NET

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, terse-syntax CLI parser for .NET or F#

## When to avoid
- you want active maintenance or new issue support - use the successor repo commandlineparser/commandline
- you need a modern CLI framework with built-in help generation
- you are starting a new project and want a currently maintained parser

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: parser, cli
- domain: developer-tools, parsers
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: csharp, fsharp, command-line-parsing, moved-to-organization, command-line
