| | When specifying double arguments, also negative values should be possible
to specify. But those are then interpreted as short attribute names. Example:
| |
| | $ cat abs.R
| | #!/usr/bin/env r
| |
| | library(getopt)
| |
| | opt = getopt(matrix(c(
| | 'val' , 'v', 1, "double"
| | ),ncol=4,byrow=TRUE), debug=FALSE)
| |
| | cat(abs(opt$val),"\n")
| |
| | this is fine:
| |
| | $ ./abs.R --val 10
| | 10
| |
| | but:
| |
| | $ ./abs.R --val -10
| | Error in getopt(matrix(c("val", "v", 1, "double"), ncol = 4, byrow = TRUE),
:
| | flag "val" requires an argument
| | Execution halted

| | Many thanks
