8 CLI11 provides all the features you expect in a powerful command line parser, with a beautiful, minimal syntax and no dependencies beyond C++11. It is header only, and comes in a single file form for easy inclusion in projects. It is easy to use for small projects, but powerful enough for complex command line projects, and can be customized for frameworks. 8 CLI11 provides all the features you expect in a powerful command line parser, with a beautiful, minimal syntax and no dependencies beyond C++11.

It was inspired by [`plumbum.cli`](http://plumbum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) for Python. It has both a user friendly introduction here, as well as [API documentation](https://henryiii.github.io/CLI11/index.html) generated by Travis. 9 +It is tested on [Travis](https://travis-ci.org/henryiii/CLI11) and [Appveyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/HenrySchreiner/cli11), and is being included in the [GooFit GPU fitting framework](https://GooFit.github.io).

  47 +## Things not supported by this library
  48 +
  49 +As you probably have guessed, the list of features above are all covered by this library. There are some other features that are intentionally not supported by this library:
  50 +
  51 +* Non-standard variations on syntax, like `-long` options. This is non-standard and should be avoided, so that is enforced by this library.
  52 +* Completion of partial options, such as Python's `argparse` supplies for incomplete arguments. It's better not to guess.
  53 +* In C++14, you could have a set of `callback` methods (tested in branch). Not deemed worth having a C++14 variation on API.
  54 +* Autocomplete: This might eventually be added to both Plumbum and CLI11, but it is not supported yet.
