- ABSTRACT
- --------
-
- CCMD is a general parsing mechanism for developing User Interfaces to
- programs. It is based on the functionality of TOPS-20's COMND Jsys.
- CCMD allows a program to parse for various field types (file names,
- user names, dates and times, keywords, numbers, arbitrary text,
- tokens, etc.). It is meant to supply a homogeneous user interface
- across a variety of machines and operating systems for C programs. It
- currently runs under System V UNIX, 4.2/4.3 BSD, Ultrix 1.2/2.0, and
- MSDOS. The library defines various default actions (user settable),
- and allows field completion, help, file indirection, comments, etc on
- a per field basis. Future plans include command line editing, and
- ports to other operating systems (such as VMS).
