 - parse argument options
 - 
 - This module is the guts of optimist's argument parser without all the
 - fanciful decoration.
 - 
 - # example
 - 
 - ``` js
 - var argv = require('minimist')(process.argv.slice(2));
 - console.log(argv);
 - ```
 - 
 - ```
 - $ node example/parse.js -a beep -b boop
 - { _: [], a: 'beep', b: 'boop' }
 - ```
 - 
 - ```
 - $ node example/parse.js -x 3 -y 4 -n5 -abc --beep=boop foo bar baz
 - {
 - 	_: ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'],
 - 	x: 3,
 - 	y: 4,
 - 	n: 5,
 - 	a: true,
 - 	b: true,
 - 	c: true,
 - 	beep: 'boop'
 - }
 - ```
 - 
 - # security
 - 
 - Previous versions had a prototype pollution bug that could cause privilege
 - escalation in some circumstances when handling untrusted user input.
 - 
 - Please use version 1.2.6 or later:
 - 
 - * https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-MINIMIST-2429795 (version <=1.2.5)
 - * https://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-MINIMIST-559764 (version <=1.2.3)
 - 
 - # methods
 - 
 - ``` js
 - var parseArgs = require('minimist')
 - ```
 - 
 - ## var argv = parseArgs(args, opts={})
 - 
 - Return an argument object `argv` populated with the array arguments from `args`.
 - 
 - `argv._` contains all the arguments that didn't have an option associated with
 - them.
 - 
 - Numeric-looking arguments will be returned as numbers unless `opts.string` or
 - `opts.boolean` is set for that argument name.
 - 
 - Any arguments after `'--'` will not be parsed and will end up in `argv._`.
 - 
 - options can be:
 - 
 - * `opts.string` - a string or array of strings argument names to always treat as
 - strings
 - * `opts.boolean` - a boolean, string or array of strings to always treat as
 - booleans. if `true` will treat all double hyphenated arguments without equal signs
 - as boolean (e.g. affects `--foo`, not `-f` or `--foo=bar`)
 - * `opts.alias` - an object mapping string names to strings or arrays of string
 - argument names to use as aliases
 - * `opts.default` - an object mapping string argument names to default values
 - * `opts.stopEarly` - when true, populate `argv._` with everything after the
 - first non-option
 - * `opts['--']` - when true, populate `argv._` with everything before the `--`
 - and `argv['--']` with everything after the `--`. Here's an example:
 - 
 -   ```
 -   > require('./')('one two three -- four five --six'.split(' '), { '--': true })
 -   {
 -     _: ['one', 'two', 'three'],
 -     '--': ['four', 'five', '--six']
 -   }
 -   ```
 - 
 -   Note that with `opts['--']` set, parsing for arguments still stops after the
 -   `--`.
 - 
 - * `opts.unknown` - a function which is invoked with a command line parameter not
 - defined in the `opts` configuration object. If the function returns `false`, the
 - unknown option is not added to `argv`.
