See following example:
[STEP 101] $ cat foo.ksh
optstr="[-][=100:color]:?[COLOR:=auto]{[auto?Auto][never?Never][always?Always]}"
getopts "$optstr" opt
[STEP 102] $ ksh foo.ksh --man
SYNOPSIS
foo.ksh [ options ]
OPTIONS
--color[=COLOR]
auto Auto
never Never
always
Always
The option value may be omitted. The default value is
auto.
[STEP 103] $ ksh foo.ksh --color=always
foo.ksh: --color: always: unknown option argument value
[STEP 104] $ ksh --version
version sh (AT&T Research) 93u+ 2012-08-01
[STEP 105] $
The foo.ksh --man output indicates that it should support --color=always
but the foo.ksh --color=always reported error. Any idea?
