Actually, any program that process its options via getopt(3)
[POSIX] including programs that use the extended GNU
getopt_long(3) get this behavior automatically as well as
few other goodies:
- Boolean option bundling:
ls -l -d -i
ls -ldi
- Parametrized options with/without space:
pr -h'hello'
pr -h 'hello'
Using standard functions make all programs more consistent
for end users.
