Long time `minimist` user here. Leanest and simplest of the pack at just 200 LOC with _no_ dependencies by the legendary substack.

Unfortunately the documentation is scarce, it has a growing number of unresolved issues and it simply does not adhere to the [UNIX utility conventions](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xbd/utilconv.html) very well (see [here](https://github.com/substack/minimist/issues/50)).

Parsec is only 50 LOC and the API is simpler, and still no dependencies!

## Features

+ Well documented + Based in → [UNIX Utility Conventions](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xbd/utilconv.html) + Custom aliases + Default shorthands + Default values / types + Handle --no-* options + Handle unknown options
