I'd like to call getopt with one set of arguments, and once that's
completely done call it again with an entirely different set of
arguments. I've found though that at least with the getopt
implementation common to both glibc and newlib, getopt has to be
"cleaned up" in between. The glibc source code shows that to clean it
up either optind must be set to zero or __getopt_initia lized must be
set to non-zero. The latter is clearly non-standard, is the former
possibly more standard? It seems to me this issue must have been
encountered and addressed sometime before.
I ran into a bug with busybox because it set optind to 1 to clean up
getopt, but this was insufficient with newlib (and glibc) and was
causing errors when parsing options.
Thanks,
Shaun

It is not standard in C at all, the C specification says nothing about
getopt(). It is defined in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, but that says nothing
about re-initialising it.

Since it is not defined that there is any standard way of doing it, you
will have to read other documentation (or the code), or code your own
version (as I have; I don't know that mine alows restarting either, I
don't remember designing it in). The latter (having your own version)
is probably best, then you won't be dependent on the OS libraries
supporting it.

Is there any way to force getopt to process one option first?? I'd like to be able to pass in the name of a
configuration file for my application, then have the remaining command-line parameters over-ride the configuration file
if they are present.
For the moment, I'm restricted to 2.2 versions.
TIA . . . .

Is getopt() and its companions, commonly found in GNU libc and other
Unices libc, part of the C standard?
Another doubt: I have a switch inside a while loop; is there a way to
break out of the loop from the switch without using goto? I mean:
start:
while(chr = fgetc(inputfile))

I want to be able to do something like:
myscript.py * -o outputfile
and then have the shell expand the * as usual, perhaps to hundreds of
filenames. But as far as I can see, getopt can only get one argument
with each option. In the above case, there isn't even an option string
before the *, but even if there was, I don't know how to get getopt to
give me all the expanded filenames in an option.

I'm new to PERL, and am trying to use the Getopt::EvaP module to parse my command-line arguments, but I am a little lost as to how to make this work.
So far I have downloaded and installed the module, and added the following to my script:
use Getopt::EvaP;
Now, I'm not sure where I add the PDT syntax; does this go in my script, or is it an external file? So there's PDT, MM, and OPT that I need to specify to make this work.

Is there an easy way to use getopt and still allow negative numbers as
args? I can easily write a workaround (pre-process the tail end of
the arguments, stripping off any non-options including negative
numbers into a separate sequence and ignore the (now empty) args list
returned by getopt, but it would seem this is such a common
requirement that there would be an option to treat a negative value as
an argument. Note that this is only a...
