Notice -that returning values through global variables means that `getopt' is -*not* reentrant. - - - Variable: *optind* - Is the index of the current element of the command line.

In order to parse a new command line or reparse an - old one, *OPTING* must be reset. - - - Variable: *optarg* - Is set by getopt to the (string) option-argument of the current - option. - - - Procedure: getopt ARGC ARGV OPTSTRING - Returns the next option letter in ARGV (starting from `(vector-ref - argv *optind*)') that matches a letter in OPTSTRING. ARGV is a - vector or list of strings, the 0th of which getopt usually - ignores. ARGC is the argument count, usually the length of ARGV. - OPTSTRING is a string of recognized option characters; if a - character is followed by a colon, the option takes an argument - which may be immediately following it in the string or in the next - element of ARGV. - - *OPTIND* is the index of the next element of the ARGV vector to be - processed. It is initialized to 1 by `getopt.scm', and `getopt' - updates it when it finishes with each element of ARGV. - - `getopt' returns the next option character from ARGV that matches - a character in OPTSTRING, if there is one that matches. If the - option takes an argument, `getopt' sets the variable *OPTARG* to - the option-argument as follows: - - * If the option was the last character in the string pointed to - by an element of ARGV, then *OPTARG* contains the next - element of ARGV, and *OPTIND* is incremented by 2. If the - resulting value of *OPTIND* is greater than or equal to ARGC, - this indicates a missing option argument, and `getopt' - returns an error indication. - - * Otherwise, *OPTARG* is set to the string following the option - character in that element of ARGV, and *OPTIND* is - incremented by 1. - - If, when `getopt' is called, the string `(vector-ref argv - *optind*)' either does not begin with the character `#\-' or is - just `"-"', `getopt' returns `#f' without changing *OPTIND*. If - `(vector-ref argv *optind*)' is the string `"--"', `getopt' - returns `#f' after incrementing *OPTIND*. - - If `getopt' encounters an option character that is not contained in - OPTSTRING, it returns the question-mark `#\?' character. If it - detects a missing option argument, it returns the colon character - `#\:' if the first character of OPTSTRING was a colon, or a - question-mark character otherwise. In either case, `getopt' sets - the variable GETOPT:OPT to the option character that caused the - error. - - The special option `"--"' can be used to delimit the end of the - options; `#f' is returned, and `"--"' is skipped. - - RETURN VALUE - - `getopt' returns the next option character specified on the command - line. A colon `#\:' is returned if `getopt' detects a missing - argument and the first character of OPTSTRING was a colon `#\:'. - - A question-mark `#\?' is returned if `getopt' encounters an option - character not in OPTSTRING or detects a missing argument and the - first character of OPTSTRING was not a colon `#\:'. - - Otherwise, `getopt' returns `#f' when all command line options - have been parsed. - - Example: - #! /usr/local/bin/scm - ;;;This code is SCM specific. - (define argv (program-arguments)) - (require 'getopt) - - (define opts ":a:b:cd") - (let loop ((opt (getopt (length argv) argv opts))) - (case opt - ((#\a) (print "option a: " *optarg*)) - ((#\b) (print "option b: " *optarg*)) - ((#\c) (print "option c")) - ((#\d) (print "option d")) - ((#\?)

Escaped semicolons and - semicolons inside strings do not delimit commands. - - The comment field differs from the previous fields in that it must - be the first character of a command or appear after whitespace in - order to be recognized. # can be part of fields if these - conditions are not met. For instance, `ab#c' is just the field - ab#c. - - `#' - Introduces a comment. The comment continues to the end of - the line on which the semicolon appears.
