Module Getopt

Description

Getopt is a group of functions which can be used to find command line options.

Command line options come in two flavors: long and short. The short ones consists of a dash followed by a character (-t), the long ones consist of two dashes followed by a string of text (--test). The short options can also be combined, which means that you can write -tda instead of -t -d -a.

Options can also require arguments, in which case they cannot be combined. To write an option with an argument you write -t argument or -targument or --test=argument.

Constant MAY_HAVE_ARG: constant Getopt.MAY_HAVE_ARG
