3     # A small example program for using the new getopt(1) program.
4     # This program will only work with bash(1)
5     # An similar program using the tcsh(1) script language can be found
6     # as parse.tcsh
7    
8     # Example input and output (from the bash prompt):
9     # ./parse.bash -a par1 'another arg' --c-long 'wow!*\?' -cmore -b " very long "
10     # Option a
11     # Option c, no argument
12     # Option c, argument `more'
13     # Option b, argument ` very long '
14     # Remaining arguments:
15     # --> `par1'
16     # --> `another arg'
17     # --> `wow!*\?'
18    
19     # Note that we use `"$@"' to let each command-line parameter expand to a
20     # separate word. The quotes around `$@' are essential!
21     # We need TEMP as the `eval set --' would nuke the return value of getopt.
22     TEMP=`getopt -o ab:c:: --long a-long,b-long:,c-long:: \
23     -n 'example.bash' -- "$@"`
