Creating a config file with specified parameters
I want to create a config file that has parameters that can be specified using - or -- (without an equals sign), as well as the ability to output the file using - or --. Could somebody point me to a generic script to do this? Say for example, I wanted to run MainScript and have it set alpha to 2 and beta to 3 in config.cfg by saying
MainScript --alpha 2 --beta 3 --output config.cfg
and have it also work by saying
MainScript -a 2 -b 3 -o config.cfg
So then if I open config.cfg it has
alpha = 2
beta = 3
The input values for alpha and beta can be any positive integer, and these are just arbitrary names. I want to be able to eventually set default values for alpha and beta, as well.
Thanks!

lua-config50
lua-config(1) General Commands Manual lua-config(1)
NAME
lua-config - Lua configuration information
SYNOPSIS
Basic usage
gcc ` lua-config --include ` my_prog.c -o my_prog ` lua-config --libs `
DESCRIPTION
The lua-config script allows you to determine useful information about the chosen version of lua running on the Debian GNU/Linux system in
use. More information can be found by running lua-config without any arguments.
CAVEATS
This script is unique to Debian and as such you shouldn't rely on its presence on every system. Lua is an embedded language by default and
different Linux distributions each take a different approach to making it possible to compile with Lua. The pkg-config system also provides
a way to look for libraries and is more likely to be supported across different Linux distributions. Debian's pkg-config name for Lua 5.0
is lua50 and the libraries are in lualib50. These pkg-config files can be found in the liblua50-dev and liblualib50-dev packages.
AUTHOR
lua-config was written by Daniel Silverstone <dsilvers@debian.org>.
This manual page was written by Daniel Silverstone <dsilvers@debian.org>. For the Debian project. It may be used without restriction in
any other system.
