Maybe I'm missing something huge, but getopt(1,3) aren't working the way I think they should.
I have a script that I want to take two options, both of which have required arguments. gabby# getopt k:s: -k getopt: option requires an argument -- k -- gabby# getopt k:s: -s getopt: option requires an argument -- s -- gabby# Ok, so far, so good. But now let's combine them: gabby# getopt k:s: -k arg1 -s arg2 -k arg1 -s arg2 -- Ok, looks fine. gabby# getopt k:s: -k -s -k -s -- gabby# Wha? Neither of these options specified arguments! I guess you could consider that -k's argument was '-s', but I was pretty sure that an option's argument couldn't start with a dash character (to avoid the ambiguity that I'm hitting right now.) I'm pretty sure I'm the one that's confused (not getopt), since I get the same behaviour on -STABLE and -CURRENT. Can someone tell me how to accomplish what I want to do? Basically, I want this: gabby# getopt k:s: -k arg1 -s getopt: option requires an argument -- k -k arg1 -- gabby# getopt k:s: -k -s arg2 getopt: option requires an argument -- k -s arg2 -- gabby# -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
