Subject: getopts does not follow SUS
Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2005 13:17:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050903111727.GA762@DervishD> (raw)
Hi all :)
SUS require that getopts is 'reset' if OPTIND is assigned the
value 1, so the following is expected:
$ getopts "-" option --ta
$ echo -- $option
-
$ OPTIND=1
$ getopts "-" option --ta
$ echo -- $option
-
But zsh doesn't do that:
$ getopts "-" option --ta
$ echo -- $option
-
$ OPTIND=1
$ getopts "-" option --ta
zsh: bad option -t
$ echo -- $option
?
But if we assign 0 to OPTIND under zsh:
$ getopts "-" option --ta
$ echo -- $option
-
$ OPTIND=0
$ getopts "-" option --ta
$ echo -- $option
-
The same in bash (whose getopts *does* follow SUS):
$ getopts "-" option --ta
$ echo -- $option
-
$ OPTIND=1
$ getopts "-" option --ta
$ echo -- $option
-
The relevant section in SUS is:
SUS->Shell & Utilities->Utilities->getopts
I don't have a copy of POSIX, so I don't know if the same applies
in POSIX :?
Unfortunately, fixing this will probably break any script that
already uses OPTIND to 'reset' getopts and assigns a value of 0,
unless '0' is kept as a back-compatibility value (SUS says that any
value other than 1 is unspecified, so...
I've tested under version 4.2.5, Linux, PC (i686). If any other
data is needed (or tests, or whatever) just tell.
Thanks in advance :)
