UNIX Utility Development Conventions?
I'm slowly hacking away at a zsh script that shows some promise as a command line tool. I want to learn more about the conventions regarding command line tool development in Unix (and/or macOS), but don't really know where to look for this information.
What is the correct way, or convention, to specify and parse command line arguments, for example? How should I package my tool? What is the best way to handle deployment of the various aspects of my tool, for example the man page, or configuration settings? How should I handle the upgrade process?
Smaller details, like should I store my source code in the repo with execute permissions turned on, or should I only turn on those permissions when the files are deployed on the user's machine? What group should I set as the default for my executable files?
Does anyone know any great resources out there that address these issues?

zf - command line tool for zendframework
SYNOPSIS
zf [--global-opts] action-name [--action-opts] provider-name [--provider-opts] [provider parameters ...]
DESCRIPTION
zf is a command line tool to create and manage zendframework projects.
The CLI, or command line tool (internally known as the console tool), is currently the primary interface for dispatching Zend_Tool

This will show the current version number of the copy of Zend Framework the zf.php tool is using.
zf show manifest
This will show what information is in the tooling systems manifest. This is more important for provider developers than casual users of
the tooling system.

required before any of the other providers can be executed.
zf create module Blog

zf create controller Auth
This will create a controller named Auth, specifically it will create a file at application/controllers/AuthController.php with the
AuthController inside.
zf create action login Auth
This will create an action in an existing controller.
zf create view Auth my-script-name
This will create a view script in the controller folder of Auth.
zf create model User
This will create a model User.
zf create form Auth
