It's main strength is that libraries can define argument parsers, which programs using the libraries can easily combine with their own argument parsers. It's included in glibc, and (unfortunately) is built on top of getopt_long, which means that it's using some global variables. I have a version that I have ripped out of glibc, and which I have also hacked to not depend on getopt(_long). The best description on how to use argp is in the glibc manual.
