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>'

NAME
claws-mail-python-plugin -- Python scripting and console plugin. DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-python-plugin. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. claws-mail-python-plugin is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer. This plugin offers a Python scripting access to Claws Mail. Also features a console for testing and scripts can be saved for later usage as new menu items under ``Tools'' menu. USAGE
Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup. For this you must go ``Configuration'' menu on main window toolbar, open ``Plugins...'' dialog, click on the ``Load plugin...'' button and select the plugin file, named python_plugin.so, and press the ``Open'' button.
