Agreed for single-letter options. Long options complicate matters: are we going to order their code stanzas by the actual long name, or by the character/number returned by getopt? Or are we going to be willing to repeatedly renumber the assigned codes to keep those the same? I don't think I want to go that far. regards, tom lane
