/* Simple command line parser.

   Supports flags that can be specified as -foo, --foo, --no-foo, -no-foo, etc
   And integers, strings that can be specified as -foo=4, -foo blah, etc

   No support for short command line options (but we may get that in the
   future.)

   Usage (for a program with a single flag argument 'foo'):

   int main(int argc, char **argv) {
     gpr_cmdline *cl;
     int verbose = 0;

     cl = gpr_cmdline_create("My cool tool");
     gpr_cmdline_add_int(cl, "verbose", "Produce verbose output?", &verbose);
     gpr_cmdline_parse(cl, argc, argv);
     gpr_cmdline_destroy(cl);

     if (verbose) {
       gpr_log(GPR_INFO, "Goodbye cruel world!");
     }

     return 0;
   } */
