19################ Introduction ################
20#
21# This package implements an extended getopt function. This function adheres
22# to the new syntax (long option names, no bundling).
23# It tries to implement the better functionality of traditional, GNU and
24# POSIX getopt functions.

41################ Description ################
42#
43# Usage:
44#
45# require "newgetopt.pl";
46# ...change configuration values, if needed...
47# $result = &NGetOpt (...option-descriptions...);
48#
49# Each description should designate a valid perl identifier, optionally
50# followed by an argument specifier.
51#
52# Values for argument specifiers are:
53#
54# <none> option does not take an argument
55# ! option does not take an argument and may be negated
56# =s :s option takes a mandatory (=) or optional (:) string argument
57# =i :i option takes a mandatory (=) or optional (:) integer argument
58# =f :f option takes a mandatory (=) or optional (:) real number argument
59#
60# If option "name" is set, it will cause the perl variable $opt_name to
61# be set to the specified value. The calling program can use this
62# variable to detect whether the option has been set. Options that do
63# not take an argument will be set to 1 (one).
64#
65# Options that take an optional argument will be defined, but set to ''
66# if no actual argument has been supplied.
67#
68# If an "@" sign is appended to the argument specifier, the option is
69# treated as an array. Value(s) are not set, but pushed into array
70# @opt_name.
71#
72# Options that do not take a value may have an "!" argument spacifier to
73# indicate that they may be negated. E.g. "foo!" will allow -foo (which
74# sets $opt_foo to 1) and -nofoo (which will set $opt_foo to 0).
75#
76# The option name may actually be a list of option names, separated by
77# '|'s, e.g. "foo|bar|blech=s". In this example, options 'bar' and
78# 'blech' will set $opt_foo instead.
79#
80# Option names may be abbreviated to uniqueness, depending on
81# configuration variable $autoabbrev.
82#
83# Dashes in option names are allowed (e.g. pcc-struct-return) and will
84# be translated to underscores in the corresponding perl variable (e.g.
85# $opt_pcc_struct_return). Note that a lone dash "-" is considered an
86# option, corresponding perl identifier is $opt_ .
87#
88# A double dash "--" signals end of the options list.
89#
90# If the first option of the list consists of non-alphanumeric
91# characters only, it is interpreted as a generic option starter.
92# Everything starting with one of the characters from the starter will
93# be considered an option.
94#
95# The default values for the option starters are "-" (traditional), "--"
96# (POSIX) and "+" (GNU, being phased out).
97#
98# Options that start with "--" may have an argument appended, separated
99# with an "=", e.g. "--foo=bar".
100#
101# If configuration varaible $getopt_compat is set to a non-zero value,
102# options that start with "+" may also include their arguments,
103# e.g. "+foo=bar".
104#
105# A return status of 0 (false) indicates that the function detected
106# one or more errors.
107#
108################ Some examples ################
109#
110# If option "one:i" (i.e. takes an optional integer argument), then
111# the following situations are handled:
112#
113# -one -two -> $opt_one = '', -two is next option
114# -one -2 -> $opt_one = -2
115#
116# Also, assume "foo=s" and "bar:s" :
117#
118# -bar -xxx -> $opt_bar = '', '-xxx' is next option
119# -foo -bar -> $opt_foo = '-bar'
120# -foo -- -> $opt_foo = '--'
121#
122# In GNU or POSIX format, option names and values can be combined:
123#
124# +foo=blech -> $opt_foo = 'blech'
125# --bar= -> $opt_bar = ''
126# --bar=-- -> $opt_bar = '--'
127#
128################ Configuration values ################
129#
130# $autoabbrev Allow option names to be abbreviated to uniqueness.
131# Default is 1 unless environment variable
132# POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set.
133#
134# $getopt_compat Allow '+' to start options.
135# Default is 1 unless environment variable
136# POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set.
137#
138# $option_start Regexp with option starters.
139# Default is (--|-) if environment variable
140# POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, (--|-|\+) otherwise.
141#
142# $order Whether non-options are allowed to be mixed with
143# options.
144# Default is $REQUIRE_ORDER if environment variable
145# POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, $PERMUTE otherwise.
146#
147# $ignorecase Ignore case when matching options. Default is 1.
148#
149# $debug Enable debugging output. Default is 0.
150
151################ History ################
152#
153# 12-Feb-1994 Johan Vromans
154# Added "!" for negation.
155# Released to the net.
156#
157# 26-Aug-1992 Johan Vromans
158# More POSIX/GNU compliance.
159# Lone dash and double-dash are now independent of the option prefix
160# that is used.
161# Make errors in NGetOpt parameters fatal.
162# Allow options to be mixed with arguments.
163# Check $ENV{"POSIXLY_CORRECT"} to suppress this.
164# Allow --foo=bar and +foo=bar (but not -foo=bar).
165# Allow options to be abbreviated to minimum needed for uniqueness.
166# (Controlled by configuration variable $autoabbrev.)
167# Allow alias names for options (e.g. "foo|bar=s").
168# Allow "-" in option names (e.g. --pcc-struct-return). Dashes are
169# translated to "_" to form valid perl identifiers
170# (e.g. $opt_pcc_struct_return).
171#
172# 2-Jun-1992 Johan Vromans
173# Do not use //o to allow multiple NGetOpt calls with different delimeters.
174# Prevent typeless option from using previous $array state.
175# Prevent empty option from being eaten as a (negative) number.
176#
177# 25-May-1992 Johan Vromans
178# Add array options. "foo=s@" will return an array @opt_foo that
179# contains all values that were supplied. E.g. "-foo one -foo -two" will
180# return @opt_foo = ("one", "-two");
181# Correct bug in handling options that allow for a argument when followed
182# by another option.
183#
184# 4-May-1992 Johan Vromans
185# Add $ignorecase to match options in either case.
186# Allow '' option.
187#
188# 19-Mar-1992 Johan Vromans
189# Allow require from packages.
190# NGetOpt is now defined in the package that requires it.
191# @ARGV and $opt_... are taken from the package that calls it.
192# Use standard (?) option prefixes: -, -- and +.
193#
194# 20-Sep-1990 Johan Vromans
195# Set options w/o argument to 1.
196# Correct the dreadful semicolon/require bug.
