##  Why *commandos*

There are already many packages help you to parse command line content, in which [minimist](https://www.npmjs.com/package/minimist) and [commander](https://www.npmjs.com/package/commander) are probably most famous. However, sometimes __minimist__ is too slim while __commander__ is too heavy. That is why I wrote __commandos__.

##  About

*commandos* = *command* + *DOS*
