# History:
# 2005 ?? - 1.0
#   first version
# 2009-08-12 - 1.1
#   thanks to ujqm8360@netwtc.net for helping fix a few bugs:
#     - -ab x where -b accepts arguments wasn't handled properly. Also,
#       $OPTLIND wasn't set properly (at least not the same way as most
#       getopts implementation do).
#     - The handling of ambiguous long options was incorrect.

getopts_long() {
  # args: shortopts, var, [name, type]*, "", "$@"
  #
  # getopts_long parses command line arguments. It works like the
  # getopts shell built-in command except that it also recognises long
  # options a la GNU.
  #
  # You must provide getopts_long with the list of supported single
  # letter options in the same format as getopts', followed by the
  # variable name you want getopts_long to return the current processed
  # option in, followed by the list of long option names (without the
  # leading "--") and types (0 or no_argument, 1 or required_argument,
  # 2 or optional_argument). The end of the long option specification
  # is indicated by an empty argument. Then follows the list of
  # arguments to be parsed.
  #
  # The $OPTLIND variable must be set to 1 before the first call of the
  # getopts_long function to process a given list of arguments.
  #
  # getopts_long returns the value of the current option in the variable
  # whose name is provided as its second argument (be careful to avoid
  # variables that have a special signification to getopts_long or the
  # shell or any other tool you may call from your script). If the
  # current option is a single letter option, then it is returned
  # without the leading "-". If it's a long option (possibly
  # abbreviated), then the full name of the option (without the leading
  # "--") is returned. If the option has an argument, then it is stored
  # in the $OPTLARG variable. If the current option is not recognised,
  # or if it is provided with an argument while it is not expecting one
  # (as in --opt=value) or if it is not provided with an argument while
  # it is expecting one, or if the option is so abbreviated that it is
  # impossible to identify the option uniquely, then:
  #   - if the short option specifications begin with ":", getopts_long
  #     returns ":" in the output variable and $OPTLARG contains the
  #     faulty option name (in full except in the case of the ambiguous
  #     or bad option) and $OPTLERR contains the error message.
  #   - if not, then getopts_long behaves the same as above except that
  #     it returns "?" instead of ":", leaves $OPTLARG unset and
  #     displays the error message on stderr.
  #
  # The exit status of getopts_long is 0 unless the end of options is
  # reached or an error is encountered in the syntax of the getopts_long
  # call.
  #
  # After getopts_long has finished processing the options, $OPTLIND
  # contains the index of the first non-option argument or $# + 1 if
  # there's no non-option argument.
  #
  # The "=" character is not allowed in a long option name. Any other
  # character is. "-" and ":" are not allowed as short option names. Any
  # other character is. If a short option appears more than once in the
  # specification, the one with the greatest number of ":"s following it
  # is retained. If a long option name is provided more than once, only
  # the first one is taken into account. Note that if you have both a -a
  # and --a option, there's no way to differentiate them. Beside the
  # $OPTLIND, $OPTLARG, and $OPTLERR, getopts_long uses the $OPTLPENDING
  # variable to hold the remaining options to be processed for arguments
  # with several one-letter options. That variable shouldn't be used
  # anywhere else in your script. Those 4 variables are the only ones
  # getopts_long may modify.
  #
  # Dependency: only POSIX utilities are called by that function. They
  # are "set", "unset", "shift", "break", "return", "eval", "command",
  # ":", "printf" and "[". Those are generally built in the POSIX
  # shells. Only "printf" has been known not to be in some old versions
  # of bash, zsh or ash based shells.
  #
  # Differences with the POSIX getopts:
  #  - if an error is detected during the parsing of command line
  #    arguments, the error message is stored in the $OPTLERR variable
  #    and if the first character of optstring is ':', ':' is returned in
  #    any case.
  #  - in the single-letter option specification, if a letter is
  #    followed by 2 colons ("::"), then the option can have an optional
  #    argument as in GNU getopt(3). In that case, the argument must
  #    directly follow the option as in -oarg (not -o arg).
  #  - there must be an empty argument to mark the end of the option
  #    specification.
  #  - long options starting with "--" are supported.
  #
  # Differences with GNU getopt_long(3):
  #  - getopts_long doesn't allow options to be interspersed with other
  #    arguments (as if POSIXLY_CORRECT was set for GNU getopt_long(3))
  #  - there's no linkage of any sort between the short and long
  #    options. The caller is responsible of that (see example below).
  #
  # Compatibility:
  #  getopts_long code is (hopefully) POSIX.2/SUSv3 compliant. It won't
  #  work with the Bourne/SystemV shell. Use /usr/xpg4/bin/sh or ksh or
  #  bash on Solaris.
  #  It has been tested successfully with:
  #    - bash 3.0 (patch level 16) on Cygwin
  #    - zsh 4.2.4 on Solaris 2.7
  #    - /usr/xpg4/bin/sh (same as /usr/bin/ksh) (ksh88i) on Solaris 2.7
  #    - /usr/dt/bin/dtksh (ksh93d) on Solaris 2.7
  #    - /usr/bin/ksh (pdksh 5.2.14) on Linux
  #    - zsh 3.0.6 on Solaris 2.8
  #    - bash 2.0.3 on Solaris 2.8
  #    - dash 0.5.2 on Linux
  #    - bash 2.05b (patch level 0) on Linux
  #    - ksh93p and ksh93q on Linux (ksh93t+ crashes)
  #
  #  It is known to fail with those non-POSIX compliant shells:
  #    - /bin/sh on Solaris
  #    - /usr/bin/sh on Cygwin
  #    - bash 1.x
