|
<strong>Synopsis</strong>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>getopts</strong> <em>optstring varname</em></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Description</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can use <strong>getopts</strong> to check the positional
|
|
parameters for legal options. An option argument begins with a
|
|
minus (<strong>-</strong>). The end of the the options is marked by
|
|
the first argument that does not begin with a minus or an argument
|
|
of <strong>--</strong>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each time you call <strong>getopts</strong>, it places the next
|
|
option letter it finds in <em>varname</em>. <strong>qsh</strong>
|
|
stores the index of the next parameter to be processed in the
|
|
variable <strong>OPTIND</strong>. When an option requires an
|
|
argument, <strong>qsh</strong> stores the argument in the variable
|
|
<strong>OPTARG</strong>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Options</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>None.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Operands</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The option letters recognized by <strong>getopts</strong> are
|
|
identified in <em>optstring</em>. If a letter is followed by a
|
|
colon (<strong>:</strong>), that option is expected to have an
|
|
argument. The argument can be separated from the option letter by
|
|
<space>s.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>With each call to <strong>getopts</strong>, <em>varname</em> is
|
|
updated with the option letter.</p>
|
|
|
|
