< Since writing one's own getopt program is trivial on a system with the < getopt call, this is more of a major annoyance than a problem. So, my < questions: < 1) Any portable workarounds (I can't think of any)? < 2) Have any of the standards groups thought of proposing that this be < fixed? Both System V release 3 and POSIX (1003.2) recognize this problem. The Vr3 solution was to introduce a builtin into the shell called getopts which would replace the use of getopt and do all of the proper quoting. POSIX is following suit.
