--alternative option in getopt

Hi,

i need to use --alternative option of getopt

for ex . getopt -o a:c: --alternative pw: -- "$@"

if i use like this, i am not getting any output.Please help me how to correct this.i need to have a combination of long and short options.But long options have to begin with - and not --. That is why am going for --alternative option.

Thanks,
Padmini.
