- getopt(args, shortopts, longopts=[])
- getopt(args, options[, long_options]) -> opts, args
Parses command line options and parameter list. args is the
argument list to be parsed, without the leading reference to the
running program. Typically, this means "sys.argv[1:]". shortopts
is the string of option letters that the script wants to
recognize, with options that require an argument followed by a
colon (i.e., the same format that Unix getopt() uses). If
specified, longopts is a list of strings with the names of the
long options which should be supported. The leading '--'
characters should not be included in the option name. Options
which require an argument should be followed by an equal sign
('=').
The return value consists of two elements: the first is a list of
(option, value) pairs; the second is the list of program arguments
left after the option list was stripped (this is a trailing slice
of the first argument). Each option-and-value pair returned has
the option as its first element, prefixed with a hyphen (e.g.,
'-x'), and the option argument as its second element, or an empty
string if the option has no argument. The options occur in the
list in the same order in which they were found, thus allowing
multiple occurrences. Long and short options may be mixed.
- gnu_getopt(args, shortopts, longopts=[])
- getopt(args, options[, long_options]) -> opts, args
This function works like getopt(), except that GNU style scanning
mode is used by default. This means that option and non-option
arguments may be intermixed. The getopt() function stops
processing options as soon as a non-option argument is
encountered.
If the first character of the option string is `+', or if the
environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, then option
processing stops as soon as a non-option argument is encountered.
