With all due respect to the fact that you’re a native speaker and I’m not, here I disagree because I parse the sentence in this way (using parens to group things by precedence, if you want): (((command-line (option and argument)) parsing) library) To paraphrase, it’s a library to parse options and arguments from the command line, not a library to parse arguments and (missing verb-ing) options from the command line. (I’m not sure I’m clear.) > An arg you missed Yes, I looked for all instances of args but not arg. Will do.
