The decision we made was to require the requested leading <plus-sign> behaviour for getopt() but intentionally leave it unspecified for getopts in order to allow it to be used for extensions, as stated in the rationale for getopt():<blockquote>Note that the use of a leading <plus-sign> in <i>optstring</i> is only standardized for <i>getopt</i>(). Use of a <plus-sign> is intentionally left unspecified for the <i>getopts</i> utility, where historical implementations did not require a leading <plus-sign> for conforming behavior, and because some historical <i>getopts</i> implementations used a leading <plus-sign> for a different extension.</blockquote> Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2023-10-22 06:14 kre New Issue 2023-10-22 06:14 kre Name => Robert Elz 2023-10-22 06:14 kre Section => XCU 3 / getopts 2023-10-22 06:14 kre Page Number => 2955 - 2959 2023-10-22 06:14 kre Line Number => 98803 - 98966 2023-10-22 06:40 kre Tag Attached: issue8 2023-10-28 05:08 Don Cragun Relationship added related to 0001535 2023-10-28 05:10 Don Cragun Relationship added related to 0001393 2023-10-28 05:10 Don Cragun Relationship added parent of 0000351 2023-10-28 05:19 kre Note Added: 0006555 2023-10-28 05:36 kre Note Added: 0006556 2023-10-28 06:25 Don Cragun Note Added: 0006558 2023-10-28 06:27 Don Cragun Relationship deleted related to 0001535 2023-10-28 06:28 Don Cragun Relationship deleted related to 0001393 2023-10-28 06:34 Don Cragun Relationship deleted parent of 0000351 2023-10-28 06:34 kre Note Edited: 0006556 2023-11-13 18:09 shware_systems Note Added: 0006568 2023-11-13 20:16 kre Note Added: 0006569 2023-11-14 09:44 geoffclare Tag Detached: issue8 2023-11-15 22:23 salewski Issue Monitored: salewski 2023-12-11 17:37 geoffclare Note Added: 0006598 2023-12-11 17:41 Don Cragun Note Added: 0006599 2023-12-11 17:50 Don Cragun Note Added: 0006600 2023-12-11 17:55 Don Cragun Note Edited: 0006600 2023-12-11 17:58 Don Cragun Note Edited: 0006600 2023-12-11 17:59 Don Cragun Status New => Resolved 2023-12-11 17:59 Don Cragun Resolution Open => Accepted As Marked 2023-12-11 18:01 Don Cragun Final Accepted Text => See https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1784#c6600. 2023-12-11 18:02 Don Cragun Tag Attached: issue8 2023-12-11 19:22 Don Cragun Note Deleted: 0006599 2023-12-11 23:41 kre Note Added: 0006602 2023-12-11 23:42 kre Note Edited: 0006602 2023-12-11 23:52 kre Note Added: 0006603 2023-12-12 09:25 geoffclare Note Added: 0006604 2023-12-12 09:25 geoffclare Note Edited: 0006604 2023-12-12 21:22 kre Note Added: 0006606 2023-12-14 07:05 Don Cragun Note Added: 0006607 2023-12-14 09:46 geoffclare Note Added: 0006608 ======================================================================
