The command:
getopt -o '' -l 'noo,aa,foo::' -- --foo ss -- bling
Gives back:
--foo '' -- 'ss' 'bling'
This is the correct output. As per the manpage:
If the option has an optional argument, it must be written directly
after the long option name, separated by `=', if present
So you would have to use:
getopt -o '' -l 'noo,aa,foo::' -- --foo=ss -- bling
To get:
--foo 'ss' -- 'bling'
Note that this part of the parsing is actually done by getopt(3).
