>Description:
The man page for getopt(1) contains incorrect example.
for i
do
case "$i"
in
...
done
Variable $@ expanded to list of options and their values (if any).
Loop variable ($i) will contain both (but should contain only options).
This invalid example was imported from NetBSD cvs in Revision 1.1:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/getopt/getopt.1?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fx-cvsweb-markup
Later this was fixed in NetBSD:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/getopt/getopt.1?rev=1.10&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=MAIN
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
This piece of code should look like this:
while true;
do
case "$1"
in
...
done
