ABSTRACT

Command_Line_Processor (CLP) provides a target-independent consistent
command line interface which is based on the package CLI2 in
the ASR.  CLP allows a program to work easily with command lines
of the form:
  verb file1 file2 ... fileN
and
  verb file1 file2 ... fileN outfile
where each fileI may be a conventional file name or an include
file.  CLP allows the user to access the referenced files as
a simple linked list, where all file names, including those
referenced by include files, can be acquired by using an iterator.

For example, CLP interprets the command
  CAT myfile.txt hisfile.txt @ourfiles.inc
where the file OURFILES.INC contains the lines
    -- Include file
    file1.txt
    file2.txt
    -option
    file3.txt
as
  CAT myfile.txt hisfile.txt file1.txt file2.txt -option file3.txt
