the ksh getopts(1) uses the ast optget(3), which at one point added solaris
'h(help)' compatibility
verify that you are in a recent ksh93
this command line
getopts -a mycommand 'h(help)' OPT --man
should produce
---
SYNOPSIS
mycommand [ options ]
OPTIONS
-h, --help
---
for compatibility you will probably have to drop the '-a mycommand'
