- According to darcy@druid.uucp (D'Arcy J.M. Cain):
- >[Getarg] support[s] extra functionality which can be used if the user
- >is aware of it. For one thing, options and arguments (files) can be
- >mixed instead of requiring all options to precede the files.
-
- Consider:
-
- rm ./-a -b -c -d -e -f
-
- With getopt, all five arguments are filenames. With getarg, the first
- argument is a filename and the rest are options. This is a feature?
- No thanks.
