Submitted-by: ONM07%DMSWWU1A.BITNET@VM1.gatech.edu (Julian F. Reschke) I recently heard that future POSIX standards will document `long options' similar to those used in the GNU file utilities. (1) Is this true? (2) Will there be a standard for getting a short help (like `+help')? (3) What about tools that do not use getopt (like pg, chmod, tar and so on)? (4) Is there a list of proposed long options for the standard tools? ___________________________ cut here _____________________________________ Julian F.
