Parse CLI Help Output

parse-help is a JavaScript utility for programmatically parsing the help output of command-line interfaces, extracting structured information about their flags, options, and aliases. It provides a structured object representation of CLI options, making it easier to analyze or process them within other tools. The current stable version is 2.0.0. The package is maintained by Sindre Sorhus, known for a high volume of small, focused utility packages, typically implying a stable but not necessarily rapid release cadence unless new features or breaking changes warrant it. A key differentiator is its focus specifically on parsing *help output* rather than building a CLI from scratch or parsing `argv` directly, making it useful for introspection or documentation generation from existing CLIs.
