GNU AutoGen/AutoOpts is a two-part project that serves two separate purposes. The two parts are combined because they are inextricably intertwined:
AutoGen is a tool designed to simplify the creation and maintenance of programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text. It is especially valuable in programs that have several blocks of text that must be kept synchronized. AutoOpts is both an example of that and a project in its own right. It is a very powerful configuration file, environment variable and command line option documentation and management tool consisting of a set of AutoGen templates and a run time library that nearly eliminates the hassle of managing, parsing and documenting program options.
