I want to write a wrapper shell script for a program,
and check its options and arguments for validity,
before calling the binary.
I can't find an understandable example of /bin/sh's
getopt. Would anyone have an example they could send me?
man getopt just lists the builtin commands and
there isn't a man /usr/bin/getopt. The book I use,
"Unix in a Nutshell" only lists the syntax and has
no examples.
Thanks.
