The easiest way to parse arguments using getoptions for bash and shell scripts
A lot of people have been looking for a best practice to use getopt and getopts for long years. A number of methods to parse arguments were thought up, but no perfect solution was found. However, with the advent of the getoptions, that long journey comes to an end.

What is the best practice for handling parameters and flags in a bash script?
Why not use a library instead of implementing it yourself? I wrote getoptions (not getopt or getopts) which many option syntaxes can be easily supported. A lot of options are no longer an obstacle, and there is no need to use another inappropriate language for such a trivial reasons.

Yeah, now that I look at it a bit closer, it is quirky. Not unmanageable, but I think I prefer something like Argparse which generates the parsing code for you using a simpler language.
