The ParentCommand class, along with the ParentCommandAttribute attribute, aid in easily creating applications that contain nested subcommands. This class handles finding, creating and running any nested subcommands, and handling parsing errors and printing usage help for those subcommands.

To utilize this class, derive a class from this class and apply the CommandAttribute attribute to that class. Then, apply the ParentCommandAttribute attribute to any child commands of this command.

Often, the derived class can be empty; however, you can override the members of this class to customize the behavior.

The ParentCommand class is based on the ICommandWithCustomParsing interface, so derived classes cannot define any arguments or use other functionality that depends on the CommandLineParser class.
