Hi,
The getopt(1) manual page is a bit unhelpful about where the example
scripts are to be found:
Example scripts for (ba)sh and (t)csh are provided with the
getopt(1) distribution, and are optionally installed in
/usr/share/getopt/ or /usr/share/doc/ in the util-linux subdirectory.
On Debian, they're in /usr/share/doc/util-linux/examples which is
broadly implied by the above, but it would be helpful to be more
explicit about this (a colleague thought they weren't installed on
their system because of the ambiguity). I attach a patch that just
says where they are on Debian.
Thanks,
Matthew
