Topic: yet more on getopt (command line arguments)

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Two more messages, the first a followup to a previous posting, and
|
|
||||||
the second public domain sources and man pages for getopt(3) and getopt(1).

The AT&T syntax standard (which getopt does not completely enforce)
|
|
||||||
actually forbids both of these usages. Options with arguments are not
|
|
||||||
allowed to be bundled, and they must be separated from their arguments
|
|
||||||
by a space.

|
||||||

The few existing commands that use such a convention, notably tar(1), are
|
|
||||||
(in my experience) the worse for it. It's seriously error-prone. I think
|
|
||||||
the AT&T people did the right thing.

Subject: here is getopt
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here is the source for getopt(3), the function that should be in
|
|
||||||
everybody's C program, and getopt(1), a program that uses it to
|
|
||||||
make shell programs comprehensible and consistent. There are man
|
|
||||||
pages for both. Please send these on to the mod. group. Thanks.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[ I have hacked the following shell script slightly so that
|
|
||||||
it doesn't extract directly into system source directories,
|
|
||||||
rather into the current directory. It should be assumed that
|
|
||||||
this code comes with no warranty from me, Ian Darwin, or anyone
|
|
||||||
else as to whether it accurately represents getopt as distributed
|
|
||||||
with System V, or any command line standard, or that it works
|
|
||||||
at all, or that it will cause no damage when extracted or used. -mod]
