- Here's something you've all been waiting for: the AT&T public domain
- source for getopt(3). It is the code which was given out at the 1985
- UNIFORUM conference in Dallas. I obtained it by electronic mail
- directly from AT&T. The people there assure me that it is indeed
- in the public domain.
-
- There is no manual page. That is because the one they gave out at
- UNIFORUM was slightly different from the current System V Release 2
- manual page. The difference apparently involved a note about the
- famous rules 5 and 6, recommending using white space between an option
- and its first argument, and not grouping options that have arguments.
- Getopt itself is currently lenient about both of these things White
- space is allowed, but not mandatory, and the last option in a group can
- have an argument. That particular version of the man page evidently
- has no official existence, and my source at AT&T did not send a copy.
- The current SVR2 man page reflects the actual behavor of this getopt.
- However, I am not about to post a copy of anything licensed by AT&T.
-
- I will submit this source to Berkeley as a bug fix.
-
- I, personally, make no claims or guarantees of any kind about the
- following source. I did compile it to get some confidence that
- it arrived whole, but beyond that you're on your own.
