What problem does it solve?

Designing robust OCaml CLIs using cmdliner solves the problem of unclear command structures and inconsistent help output.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clear subcommand layout and options with well-defined semantics
  • Implementing cmdliner terms and combinators for predictable parsing
  • Integrating CLIs into dune-based OCaml projects for seamless builds
  • Real-world use case: designing a tool with multiple subcommands (build, test, deploy) with consistent help messages

Quick Start

Install OCaml and dune, initialize a new OCaml project, add cmdliner as a dependency, and implement a minimal CLI using Cmd.v and Term.t to observe a clean --help output.
