Dennis E. Hamilton updated COR-26:
----------------------------------
Description:
It is recommended that the command-line utilities provided by Corinthia use a
common getopt model with single-letter options, verbose word options and common
shared options (--version, --help, etc.). stdin, stdout, and stderr should be
redirectable (via the shell) and the utilities should work with pipes (with
appropriate encoding caveats).
The same flavors can be used for all platforms, with filenames given in
platform-specific form (and "..." where needed) but parameters and options the
same across platforms.
The GNU getopt_long approach is widely-used.
