A production quality console app has to handle validating and parsing command line parameters + displaying errors to the user. This is a repetitive task and I am wondering if there is a library/framework/application block to standardize these tasks. Depending upon the app, I find that sometimes more than 50% of the code is just parsing parameters, doing validation, handling errors etc.

There are many libraries, such as the Command Line Parser Library, which handle parsing command lines cleanly in an automated fashion.
