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!

mlib_imagescale_fp_inp

mlib_ImageScale_Fp_Inp(3MLIB)				    mediaLib Library Functions				     mlib_ImageScale_Fp_Inp(3MLIB)

NAME

       mlib_ImageScale_Fp_Inp - linear scaling, in place

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmlib [ library... ]
       #include <mlib.h>

       mlib_status mlib_ImageScale_Fp_Inp(mlib_image *srcdst, const mlib_d64 *alpha, const mlib_d64 *beta);

DESCRIPTION

       The  mlib_ImageScale_Fp_Inp()  function performs a floating-point, in-place linear scaling on the pixels of the source image by multiplying
       the data by a scale factor, shifting, and then adding an offset.

       The following equation is used:

       srcdst[x][y][i] = srcdst[x][y][i] * alpha[i] + beta[i]

       If the result of the operation underflows/overflows the minimum/maximum value supported by the destination image, then it will  be  clamped
       to the minimum/maximum value respectively.

       The image can be of type MLIB_FLOAT or MLIB_DOUBLE.

PARAMETERS

       The function takes the following arguments:

       srcdst	       Pointer to source and destination image.

       alpha	       Scaling factor. alpha[i] contains the scaling factor for channel i.

       beta	       Offset value. beta[i] contains the offset for channel i.

RETURN VALUES

       The function returns MLIB_SUCCESS if successful. Otherwise it returns MLIB_FAILURE.
