Display header in script output
Hi -- Working on my own through the book "Learning the KornShell and came to task 4-1, which there is:
a script "highest" and it will sort an "album" file.
highest filename
The author mentions adding a header line to the scripts output if the user types in the -h option. It says "assume the option ends up in the variable "header" i.e $header is -h"
If user runs the script with -h, it will produce a header on the output that reads "Album Artist" and a new line" if the -h option is not used there is no header or new line.
From the book:
The expression
${header:+"Albums Artist\n")
yields null if the variable header is null or "Albums Artist\n" is not null.
we can put the line:
print -n ${header:+"Albums Artist\n"}
My problem is i do not know how to make $header relate to the -h option. It says "assume....." but i want to follow along and run the script. Tried the man pages, but no luck. If you have any ideas please respond. Thanks.

dfits(1) General Commands Manual dfits(1)
NAME
dfits - display FITS file header information
SYNOPSIS
dfits [-x xtnum] <list>
dfits [-x xtnum] -
DESCRIPTION
dfits displays FITS header informations on stdout. Header information can be found in the main header only (default), in extensions, or in
both. See the -x option below. dfits accepts multi-file input. 'dfits -' expects single file data coming from stdin. dfits also accepts
now 'HDR' files. These are identified from the fact that they contain a line feed in one of the 80 first characters.
OPTIONS
-x xtnum
Specifies the extension to print out. Extensions are numbered starting from 1. If this option is not specified, only the main header
is printed out. If this option specifies an extension that does not exist, nothing is printed out.
Specify 0 as extension number to get a print of the main header plus all extension headers.
Examples :
dfits *.fits
dfits *.fits | grep NAXIS3
gzip -d < star.fits.gz | dfits - | more
dfits -x 0 *.fits
dfits -x 3 *.fits
SEE ALSO
fitsort can be combined with dfits output to sort out keyword values of a group of FITS files.
FILES
Files shall all comply with FITS format
