+#Subject: BASH: getopt function that parses long-named options
+#Date: Mon, 22 Dec 1997 20:35:18 +0300
+
+#Hi, I have written a BASH function named getoptex, that is like bash builtin
+#"getopts", but does parse long-named options and optional arguments. It only
+#uses builtin bash commands, so it is very fast. In order to use it in your
+#bash scripts, include a command ". getopt.sh" (<dot> getopt.sh) to the file
+#containing your script, and that will define functions getopt, getoptex, and
+#optlistex (the file getopt.sh with its detailed description is listed
+#below).
+
+#*** file getopt.sh ***

+#! /bin/bash
+#
+# getopt.sh:
+# functions like getopts but do long-named options parsing
+# and support optional arguments
+#
+# Version 1.0 1997 by Grigoriy Strokin (grg@philol.msu.ru), Public Domain
+# Date created: December 21, 1997
+# Date modified: December 21, 1997
+#
+# IMPORTANT FEATURES
+#
+# 1) Parses both short and long-named options
+# 2) Supports optional arguments
+# 3) Only uses bash builtins, thus no calls to external
+# utilities such as expr or sed is done. Therefore,
+# parsing speed is high enough
+#
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# FUNCTION getopt
+# Usage: getopt OPTLIST {"$@"|ALTERNATIVE_PARAMETERS}
+#
+# like getopts, but parse options with both required and optional arguments,
+# Options with optional arguments must have "." instead of ":" after them.
+# Furthemore, a variable name to place option name cannot be specified
+# and is always placed in OPTOPT variable
+#
+# This function is provided for compatibility with getopts()
+# OPTLIST style, and it actually calls getoptex (see bellow)
+#
+# NOTE that a list of parameters is required and must be either "$@",
+# if processing command line arguments, or some alternative parameters.
+#
+# FUNCTION getoptex
+# Usage: getoptex OPTION_LIST {"$@"|ALTERNATIVE_PARAMETERS}
+#
+# like getopts, but parse long-named options.
+#
+# Both getopt and getoptex return 0 if an option has been parsed,
+# and 1 if all options are already parsed or an error occured
+#
+# Both getopt and getoptex set or test the following variables:
+#
+# OPTERR -- tested for whether error messages must be given for invalid
+options
+#
+# OPTOPT -- set to the name of an option parsed,
+# or to "?" if no more options or error
+# OPTARG -- set to the option argument, if any;
+# unset if ther is no argument;
+# on error, set to the erroneous option name
+#
+# OPTIND -- Initialized to 1.
+# Then set to the number of the next parameter to be parsed
+# when getopt or getoptex will be called next time.
+# When all options are parsed, contains a number of
+# the first non-option argument.
+#
+#
+# OPTOFS -- If a parameter number $OPTIND containg an option parsed
+# does not contain any more options, OPTOFS is unset;
+# otherwise, OPTOFS is set to such a number of "?" signs
+# which is equal to the number of options parsed
+#
+# You might not set variables OPTIND and OPTOFS yourself
+# unless you want to parse a list of parameters more than once.
+# Otherwise, you whould unset OPTIND (or set it to 1)
+# and unset OPTOFS each time you want to parse a new parameters
+list
+#
+# Option list format is DIFFERENT from one for getopts or getopt.
+getopts-style
+# option list can be converted to getoptex-style using a function optlistex
+# (see bellow)
+#
+# DESCRIPTION of option list used with getoptex:
+# Option names are separated by whitespace. Options consiting of
+# more than one character are treated as long-named (--option)
+#
+# Special characters can appear at the and of option names specifying
+# whether an argument is required (default is ";"):
+# ";" (default) -- no argument
+# ":" -- required argument
+# "," -- optional argument
+#
+# For example, an option list "a b c help version f: file: separator."
+# defines the following options:
+# -a, -b, -c, --help, --version -- no argument
+# -f, --file -- argument required
+# --separator -- optional argument
+#
+# FUNCTION optlistex
+# Usage new_style_optlist=`optlistex OLD_STYLE_OPTLIST`
+#
+# Converts getopts-style option list in a format suitable for use with getoptex
+# Namely, it inserts spaces after each option name.
+#
+#
+# HOW TO USE
+#
+# In order o use in your bash scripts the functions described,
+# include a command ". getopt.sh" to the file containing the script,
+# which will define functions getopt, getoptex, and optlistex
+#
+# EXAMPLES
+#
+# See files 'getopt1' and 'getopt2' that contain sample scripts that use
+# getopt and getoptex functions respectively
+#
+#
+# Please send your comments to grg@philol.msu.ru
