PHP-CLI
=======

[](#php-cli)

PHP-CLI is a simple library that helps with creating nice looking command line scripts.

It takes care of

- **option parsing**
- **help page generation**
- **automatic width adjustment**
- **colored output**
- **optional PSR3 compatibility**

It is lightweight and has **no 3rd party dependencies**. Note: this is for non-interactive scripts only. It has no readline or similar support.
