I know this is a pseudo-FAQ, but I haven't been able to find a clear enough answer in the archives.
1. Is it not the case that POSIX provides a specification for the getopts builtin? 2. Doesn't ash, as originally written, implement getopts? I'm trying to figure out why this feature was removed, and I've never gotten an answer that made much sense. Every other POSIX-like system I can think of supports getopts in /bin/sh.
