/** @mainpage
*
* \section intro_sec Introduction
* YAAP is a simple command line argument parser for C.
* It uses functions and structures to add arguments to the parsing context and
* parse the command line.
* \section Features
* - git like command support (git commit)
* - short and long flag support ( -t YAAP or --title=YAAP)
* - string argument support ( -t YAAP or -- title=YAAP)
* - simple flags (-v, -V, -h, --help)
* - integer arguments (-c 10)
*
* \section coming
*
* - hex arguments ( -c 0x5A)
*
* \section Repository
*
* https://github.com/byterazor/yaap
*
* \section Installation
* YAAP is intented to be copied into your project directory. Different approaches are
* available:
* - simpe copy argparse.h and argparse.c into your source directory
* - add the github repository as a submodule
* - add the github repository as a subtree
* - add the github repository as a subrepo
*
* In all cases you have to make sure that argparse.c is compiled into an object file
* and is appended to your link stage.
*
* \section Functions
* All available functions can be found in argparse.c.
*
* @example example1.c
