2021-11-22 15:04:35 +00:00
`getopt --options f: --longoptions file: -- --file=somefile`
2021-10-23 19:36:21 +01:00
- Add a `--verbose` option with an optional argument with shorthand `-v` , and pass a non-option parameter `arg` :

`getopt --options v:: --longoptions verbose:: -- --verbose arg`
2021-10-23 19:36:21 +01:00
