Help me get some ideas

Hello,
I have been given a scripting project, but have not learned any scripting. I need to get some ideas on how to start. Attached is part of the project:

I have no idea how to parse the arguments. What I had in mind was to get the arguments ($1, $2, ... ) and have if statements for different cases. The different cases are:
1-argument --> pid
2-arguments --> (-g pid, pid -g, -n name, name -n, -gn name, -ng name, name -gn, name -ng)
3-arguments --> (name -n -g, name -g -n, ...)

but this clearly isn't the right way to do it.
Here is the usage variable btw:

USAGE='Usage: KillByName.sh [-g] -n <name> or KillByName [-g] <pid>'

OSALANG(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						OSALANG(1)

NAME
osalang -- information about installed OSA languages SYNOPSIS
osalang [-dlL] DESCRIPTION
osalang prints information about installed OSA languages. With no options, it prints an unadorned list of language names to standard output. These names can be passed to the -l options of osacompile(1) and osascript(1). The options are as follows: -d Only print the default language. -l List in long format. For each language, osalang will print its component subtype, manufacturer, and capability flags. There are eight groups of optional routines that scripting components can support. Each flag is either a letter, meaning the group is supported, or '-', meaning it is not. The letters map to the following groups: c compiling scripts. g getting source data. x coercing script values. e manipulating the event create and send functions. r recording scripts. v ``convenience'' APIs to execute scripts in one step. d manipulating dialects. h using scripts to handle Apple Events. For descriptions of the groups and the APIs in each of them, see <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/mac/IAC/IAC-361.html>. -L Same as -l, but also prints the description of each component after its name.
