With all due respect to the fact that you’re a native speaker and I’m

You are right, I misparsed without considering the full context. You actually mean "Command-line option-and-argument-parsing library." But multiple compound-noun adjectives are awkward and the above is ugly. Would "Command-line library for parsing options and arguments" fit?
