"""
Command-line and common processing for Docutils front-end tools.
This module is provisional.
Major changes will happen with the transition from the
"optparse" module to "arparse" in Docutils 2.0 or later.
Applications should use the high-level API provided by `docutils.core`.
See https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/api/runtime-settings.html.
Exports the following classes:
* `OptionParser`: Standard Docutils command-line processing.
Deprecated. Will be replaced by an ArgumentParser.
* `Option`: Customized version of `optparse.Option`; validation support.
Deprecated. Will be removed.
* `Values`: Runtime settings; objects are simple structs
(``object.attribute``). Supports cumulative list settings (attributes).
Deprecated. Will be removed.
* `ConfigParser`: Standard Docutils config file processing.
Provisional. Details will change.
Also exports the following functions:
Interface function:
`get_default_settings()`. New in 0.19.
Option callbacks:
`store_multiple()`, `read_config_file()`. Deprecated. To be removed.
Setting validators:
`validate_encoding()`, `validate_encoding_error_handler()`,
`validate_encoding_and_error_handler()`,
`validate_boolean()`, `validate_ternary()`,
`validate_nonnegative_int()`, `validate_threshold()`,
`validate_colon_separated_string_list()`,
`validate_comma_separated_list()`,
`validate_url_trailing_slash()`,
`validate_dependency_file()`,
`validate_strip_class()`
`validate_smartquotes_locales()`.
Provisional.
Misc:
`make_paths_absolute()`, `filter_settings_spec()`. Provisional.
