getopt

Replacement for getopt(1) that supports GNU-style long options

Rewrite of getopt(1) with the following features: * It can do anything that the GNU getopt(3) routines can do. * It can cope with spaces and shell metacharacters within arguments. * It can parse long parameters. * It can shuffle parameters, so you can mix options and other parameters on the command-line. * It can be easily identified as an enhanced getopt(1) from within shell scripts. * It can report parse errors as coming from the shell script. * It compiles cleanly with both libc-5 and glibc-2.
