+Shell Flags (shFlags) is a library written to greatly simplify the handling of
+command-line flags in Bourne based Unix shell scripts (bash, dash, ksh, sh,
+zsh) on many Unix OSes (Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, etc.).
+
+Most shell scripts use getopt for flags processing, but the different versions
+of getopt on various OSes make writing portable shell scripts difficult.
+shFlags instead provides an API that doesn't change across shell and OS
+versions so the script writer can be confident that the script will work.
+
+shFlags is a port of the google-gflags C++/Python library.
