getopts alternative?

I have to implement switches (options) like this in my script.

Code:

./myscript -help
./myscript -dir /home/krish -all
./myscript -all

getopts allows switches to have one character (like a, b, etc.). How can I customize it for handling the above situation? Or, is there any alternative to getopts?
