How to parse long and/or short options in shell scripts
Hi ,
it has been a while since I have tried to parse command line arguments
made of both short and long options. There are many ways to do so but
not as many of them handle switch clustering in a flawlessly way. Here
is a snippet of code that illustrates my point. It is, however, far from
being straightforward (getopts is) since it requires to do the parsing
by hand. At last, the sample uses builtins commands only so the parsing
is expected to be optimal.
At parsing time, OPTARG holds the last expected option argument.

funnel
funnel(1) logtools funnel(1)NAME
funnel - split one pipe stream to one or more files or programs
SYNOPSIS
funnel [|] [>[>]file] [|process]
DESCRIPTION
The funnel program will read data from standard input and write it to several output streams.
The | symbol means to copy standard input to standard output.
The > symbol means that a file name immediately follows with no separating spaces, the file will be truncated if it exists or created if it
doesn't. The >> means that the file is to be appended to if it exists.
A | symbol followed immediately by text indicates a command that is to be run by system() and will have all input piped to it.
EXIT STATUS
0 No errors
1 Error opening input
Other errors are 100 + number of commands or files that fail
AUTHOR
This program, its manual page, and the Debian package were written by Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>.
FEATURES
Uses popen (3) for output so that shell expansion gets performed. If you want such shell expansion then you must ensure that you quote the
parameters correctly so that they get expanded by popen (3) not the shell that calls funnel.
