getoptcvt(1)
getoptcvt --
parse command options
Synopsis
/usr/lib/getoptcvt [-b] file
Description
The
/usr/lib/getoptcvt( )
command
reads the shell script in
file,
converts it to use
getopts(1)
instead of
getopt(1),
and writes the results on the standard output.
-b-
Make the converted script portable to earlier releases of the
UNIX system; that is,
/usr/lib/getoptcvt( )
modifies the shell script in
file
so that when the resulting shell script is executed,
it determines at run time whether to invoke
getopts(1)
or
getopt(3C).
So all new commands will adhere to the command syntax standard
described in
intro(1),
they should use
getopts(1)
or
getopt(3C)
to parse positional parameters and check for options that are valid
for that command.
