hmm that suxx
what can i do if i want to offer those options?
-v
-s SIZE
-h
--help
-v
--verbose
a for loop that checks for --verbose and --help and sets flag or prints help?!
and then launch getops? i think that will give an error, because the --verbose or --help is still in the arguments list?
any idea?

is there maybe a similar tool like getopts that can handle these types of parameters?
or does anybody have an idea, how i can build that script ...?

maybe some1 has an idea, how i can grab not existing parameters.
i thought i could use the if not exists clause and in the else tree i call shorthelp.
