wopt
Enhances nopt with ability to interpret words as options.
Word options are added by this package so I named it wopt.
Install
npm install wopt --save
Usage
This library wraps nopt so look at the nopt README to understand how to use it.
Then, look here to see the extra functionality added by wopt.
