Position independent Parameter passing
Hi all,
When parameters are passed to the shell script, they are dereferenced by their position. For example,
I call myTest.sh and pass two parameters param1 and param2 as following:
./myTest.sh param1 param2
In the script, myTest.sh, I refer to first parameter (param1 ) as $1 and second parameter (param2) as $2.
Is there any way to make parameter passing independent. Something like
./myTest.sh -Dparameter1=param1 -Dparameter2=param2
Thanks,
Sonal.

I am surprised by GCC (this is ver. 4.2.4, Ubuntu 32 bit Intel) when a function declares a float parameter and it's prototype is missing, the parameters are messed up.
Please see my code below:

GSL-RANDIST(1) General Commands Manual GSL-RANDIST(1)
NAME
gsl-randist - generate random samples from various distributions
SYNOPSYS
gsl-randist seed n DIST param1 param2 [..]
DESCRIPTION
gsl-randist is a demonstration program for the GNU Scientific Library. It generates n random samples from the distribution DIST using the
distribution parameters param1, param2, ...
EXAMPLE
Here is an example. We generate 10000 random samples from a Cauchy distribution with a width of 30 and histogram them over the range -100
to 100, using 200 bins.
gsl-randist 0 10000 cauchy 30 | gsl-histogram -100 100 200 > histogram.dat
A plot of the resulting histogram will show the familiar shape of the Cauchy distribution with fluctuations caused by the finite sample
size.
awk '{print $1, $3 ; print $2, $3}' histogram.dat | graph -T X

gsl(3), gsl-histogram(1).
