Maybe. Or maybe not. The big wrapper added by somebody (most likely you) around getopt action needs to be examined to say that for sure. But what does your "superiour" stuff do with miss-spelled options? $ mkisofs/OBJ/i686-linux-cc/mkisofs -input-charset-deliberate-mistake-but-with-correct-parameter iso8859-1 -o /dev/null . Unknown charset Known charsets are: cp10081 cp10079 ... iso8859-1 Hookay. So much about correctness. And the encoding beeing default on Linux nowadays (UTF-8) is still not in the list. Those who want an isofs generator that cares about the user's setup (eg. detecting the charset encoding and supporting Unicode/UTF-8 input) can use genisoimage from http://www.cdrkit.org/.
