Hi,

When I type "man getopts" I am presented with a useless list of
"built-in commands".  At least it seems useless to me but that's
probably because I am a dunce.

Questions:

1. Why does "man getopts" not help me with "getopts"?

2. Where can I get help with "getopts" (syntax, usage, etc)?  I am
using /bin/csh.

Thank you,

Chris
