If possible you could try docopt. That should be able to do it quite easily. You could write literally: My-Script Usage: my-script (-a -b VALUE-B | -c -d VALUE-D) Options: -b VALUE-B Description -d VALUE-D Description as the grammar, but: My-Script Usage: my-script -a -b VALUE-B my-script -c -d VALUE-D Options: -b VALUE-B Description -d VALUE-D Description would be preferred.
