| Hans-G?nter@24214 | 1 The Getopt::Long module implements an extended getopt function |
| Hans-G?nter@24214 | 2 called GetOptions(). |
| Hans-G?nter@24214 | 3 It parses the command line from @ARGV, recognizing and removing |
| Hans-G?nter@24214 | 4 specified options and their possible values. |
| Hans-G?nter@24214 | 5 |
| Hans-G?nter@24214 | 6 This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command line options, |
| Hans-G?nter@24214 | 7 with GNU extensions. |
| Hans-G?nter@24214 | 8 In general, this means that options have long names instead of |
| Hans-G?nter@24214 | 9 single letters, and are introduced with a double dash "--". |
| Hans-G?nter@24214 | 10 Support for bundling of command line options, as was the case |
| Hans-G?nter@24214 | 11 with the more traditional single-letter approach, is provided |
| Hans-G?nter@24214 | 12 but not enabled by default. |
