Quartz,

I'm interested in getopts with an 's', which is a built-in command.

And I think I understand why "man getopts" shows me a largely useless
page.  Builtin commands might exist for many different shells and the
man infrastructure doesn't necessarily know which shell's
documentation to display... so it gives just a generic manual.  Still
leaves me wondering where I am supposed to go for csh's getopts man
page.

Thank you,

Chris
