About The Project

prohelp-cli connects Prohelp (progressive help) to command-line application frameworks (parsing, routing, subcommands).

• prohelp — help engine, specification, preview tool, global help binary, C-oriented library core

• prohelp-cli — bridges that wire Prohelp into D CLI routers (and future adapters)

This package is a library. Your app is the binary. CI builds a small prohelp-cli-demo executable for regression testing.

}
