getopt and getopts are different beasts, and people seem to have a bit of misunderstanding of what they do. getopts is a built-in command to bash to process command-line options in a loop and assign each found option and value in turn to built-in variables, so you can further process them. getopt, however, is an external utility program, and it doesn't actually process your options for you the way that e.g. bash getopts, the Perl Getopt module or the Python optparse/argparse modules do. All that getopt does is canonicalize the options that are passed in — i.e. convert them to a more standard form, so that it's easier for a shell script to process them. For example, an application of getopt might convert the following:

myscript -ab infile.txt -ooutfile.txt

到这个:

myscript -a -b -o outfile.txt infile.txt

你必须自己进行实际的处理。如果你对指定选项的方式做了各种限制，你根本不必使用getopt:

每个参数只放一个选项; 所有选项都在任何位置参数(即非选项参数)之前; 对于带值的选项(例如上面的-o)，值必须作为一个单独的参数(在空格之后)。

为什么使用getopt而不是getopts?基本原因是只有GNU getopt支持长名称的命令行选项(GNU getopt是Linux上的默认设置。Mac OS X和FreeBSD提供了一个基本的但不是很有用的getopt，但GNU版本可以安装;见下文)。

例如，这里有一个使用GNU getopt的例子，来自我的一个名为javawrap的脚本:

# NOTE: This requires GNU getopt.  On Mac OS X and FreeBSD, you have to install this
# separately; see below.
TEMP=$(getopt -o vdm: --long verbose,debug,memory:,debugfile:,minheap:,maxheap: \
              -n 'javawrap' -- "$@")

if [ $? != 0 ] ; then echo "Terminating..." >&2 ; exit 1 ; fi

# Note the quotes around '$TEMP': they are essential!
eval set -- "$TEMP"

VERBOSE=false
DEBUG=false
MEMORY=
DEBUGFILE=
JAVA_MISC_OPT=
while true; do
  case "$1" in
    -v | --verbose ) VERBOSE=true; shift ;;
    -d | --debug ) DEBUG=true; shift ;;
    -m | --memory ) MEMORY="$2"; shift 2 ;;
    --debugfile ) DEBUGFILE="$2"; shift 2 ;;
    --minheap )
      JAVA_MISC_OPT="$JAVA_MISC_OPT -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=$2"; shift 2 ;;
    --maxheap )
      JAVA_MISC_OPT="$JAVA_MISC_OPT -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=$2"; shift 2 ;;
    -- ) shift; break ;;
    * ) break ;;
  esac
done

这让你可以指定诸如——verbose -dm4096——minh=20——maxhe 40——debugfi="/Users/John Johnson/debug.txt"之类的选项。调用getopt的效果是将选项规范化为——verbose -d -m 4096——minheap 20——maxheap 40——debugfile "/Users/John Johnson/debug.txt"，这样您就可以更容易地处理它们。“$1”和“$2”周围的引号很重要，因为它可以确保其中有空格的参数得到正确处理。

If you delete the first 9 lines (everything up through the eval set line), the code will still work! However, your code will be much pickier in what sorts of options it accepts: In particular, you'll have to specify all options in the "canonical" form described above. With the use of getopt, however, you can group single-letter options, use shorter non-ambiguous forms of long-options, use either the --file foo.txt or --file=foo.txt style, use either the -m 4096 or -m4096 style, mix options and non-options in any order, etc. getopt also outputs an error message if unrecognized or ambiguous options are found.

NOTE: There are actually two totally different versions of getopt, basic getopt and GNU getopt, with different features and different calling conventions.2 Basic getopt is quite broken: Not only does it not handle long options, it also can't even handle embedded spaces inside of arguments or empty arguments, whereas getopts does do this right. The above code will not work in basic getopt. GNU getopt is installed by default on Linux, but on Mac OS X and FreeBSD it needs to be installed separately. On Mac OS X, install MacPorts (http://www.macports.org) and then do sudo port install getopt to install GNU getopt (usually into /opt/local/bin), and make sure that /opt/local/bin is in your shell path ahead of /usr/bin. On FreeBSD, install misc/getopt.

为您自己的程序修改示例代码的快速指南:在前几行中，除了调用getopt的行外，其余都是“样板代码”，应该保持不变。您应该在-n之后更改程序名，在-o之后指定短选项，在——long之后指定长选项。在带值的选项后面加冒号。

最后，如果您看到的代码只是set而不是eval set，那么它是为BSD getopt编写的。您应该将其更改为使用eval set样式，这种样式适用于两个版本的getopt，而普通集不适用于GNU getopt。

实际上，ksh93中的getopts支持长名称选项，但是这个shell不像bash那样经常使用。在zsh中，使用zparseopts来获得这个功能。

从技术上讲，“GNU getopt”是一个用词不当的词;这个版本实际上是为Linux而不是GNU项目编写的。然而，它遵循所有的GNU约定，术语“GNU getopt”是常用的(例如在FreeBSD上)。

一个简单的DIY，只获得长名称的参数:

Use:

$ ./test-args.sh --a1 a1 --a2 "a 2" --a3 --a4= --a5=a5 --a6="a 6"
a1 = "a1"
a2 = "a 2"
a3 = "TRUE"
a4 = ""
a5 = "a5"
a6 = "a 6"
a7 = ""

脚本:

#!/bin/bash

function main() {
    ARGS=`getArgs "$@"`

    a1=`echo "$ARGS" | getNamedArg a1`
    a2=`echo "$ARGS" | getNamedArg a2`
    a3=`echo "$ARGS" | getNamedArg a3`
    a4=`echo "$ARGS" | getNamedArg a4`
    a5=`echo "$ARGS" | getNamedArg a5`
    a6=`echo "$ARGS" | getNamedArg a6`
    a7=`echo "$ARGS" | getNamedArg a7`

    echo "a1 = \"$a1\""
    echo "a2 = \"$a2\""
    echo "a3 = \"$a3\""
    echo "a4 = \"$a4\""
    echo "a5 = \"$a5\""
    echo "a6 = \"$a6\""
    echo "a7 = \"$a7\""

    exit 0
}


function getArgs() {
    for arg in "$@"; do
        echo "$arg"
    done
}


function getNamedArg() {
    ARG_NAME=$1

    sed --regexp-extended --quiet --expression="
        s/^--$ARG_NAME=(.*)\$/\1/p  # Get arguments in format '--arg=value': [s]ubstitute '--arg=value' by 'value', and [p]rint
        /^--$ARG_NAME\$/ {          # Get arguments in format '--arg value' ou '--arg'
            n                       # - [n]ext, because in this format, if value exists, it will be the next argument
            /^--/! p                # - If next doesn't starts with '--', it is the value of the actual argument
            /^--/ {                 # - If next do starts with '--', it is the next argument and the actual argument is a boolean one
                # Then just repla[c]ed by TRUE
                c TRUE
            }
        }
    "
}


main "$@"

对于getopts部分，如果需要较长的命令行选项，使用ksh可能更简单，因为在ksh中更容易完成。

# Working Getopts Long => KSH

#! /bin/ksh
# Getopts Long
USAGE="s(showconfig)"
USAGE+="c:(createdb)"
USAGE+="l:(createlistener)"
USAGE+="g:(generatescripts)"
USAGE+="r:(removedb)"
USAGE+="x:(removelistener)"
USAGE+="t:(createtemplate)"
USAGE+="h(help)"

while getopts "$USAGE" optchar ; do
    case $optchar in
    s)  echo "Displaying Configuration" ;;
        c)  echo "Creating Database $OPTARG" ;;
    l)  echo "Creating Listener LISTENER_$OPTARG" ;;
    g)  echo "Generating Scripts for Database $OPTARG" ;;
    r)  echo "Removing Database $OPTARG" ;;
    x)  echo "Removing Listener LISTENER_$OPTARG" ;;
    t)  echo "Creating Database Template" ;;
    h)  echo "Help" ;;
    esac
done

内置的getopts不能做到这一点。有一个外部的getopt(1)程序可以做到这一点，但是您只能在Linux上从util-linux包中获得它。它附带一个示例脚本getop -parse.bash。

还有一个getopts_long被写成shell函数。

内置的getopts只解析短选项(ksh93除外)， 但是您仍然可以添加几行脚本来使getopts处理长选项。

以下是在http://www.uxora.com/unix/shell-script/22-handle-long-options-with-getopts中找到的部分代码

  #== set short options ==#
SCRIPT_OPTS=':fbF:B:-:h'
  #== set long options associated with short one ==#
typeset -A ARRAY_OPTS
ARRAY_OPTS=(
    [foo]=f
    [bar]=b
    [foobar]=F
    [barfoo]=B
    [help]=h
    [man]=h
)

  #== parse options ==#
while getopts ${SCRIPT_OPTS} OPTION ; do
    #== translate long options to short ==#
    if [[ "x$OPTION" == "x-" ]]; then
        LONG_OPTION=$OPTARG
        LONG_OPTARG=$(echo $LONG_OPTION | grep "=" | cut -d'=' -f2)
        LONG_OPTIND=-1
        [[ "x$LONG_OPTARG" = "x" ]] && LONG_OPTIND=$OPTIND || LONG_OPTION=$(echo $OPTARG | cut -d'=' -f1)
        [[ $LONG_OPTIND -ne -1 ]] && eval LONG_OPTARG="\$$LONG_OPTIND"
        OPTION=${ARRAY_OPTS[$LONG_OPTION]}
        [[ "x$OPTION" = "x" ]] &&  OPTION="?" OPTARG="-$LONG_OPTION"

        if [[ $( echo "${SCRIPT_OPTS}" | grep -c "${OPTION}:" ) -eq 1 ]]; then
            if [[ "x${LONG_OPTARG}" = "x" ]] || [[ "${LONG_OPTARG}" = -* ]]; then 
                OPTION=":" OPTARG="-$LONG_OPTION"
            else
                OPTARG="$LONG_OPTARG";
                if [[ $LONG_OPTIND -ne -1 ]]; then
                    [[ $OPTIND -le $Optnum ]] && OPTIND=$(( $OPTIND+1 ))
                    shift $OPTIND
                    OPTIND=1
                fi
            fi
        fi
    fi

    #== options follow by another option instead of argument ==#
    if [[ "x${OPTION}" != "x:" ]] && [[ "x${OPTION}" != "x?" ]] && [[ "${OPTARG}" = -* ]]; then 
        OPTARG="$OPTION" OPTION=":"
    fi

    #== manage options ==#
    case "$OPTION" in
        f  ) foo=1 bar=0                    ;;
        b  ) foo=0 bar=1                    ;;
        B  ) barfoo=${OPTARG}               ;;
        F  ) foobar=1 && foobar_name=${OPTARG} ;;
        h ) usagefull && exit 0 ;;
        : ) echo "${SCRIPT_NAME}: -$OPTARG: option requires an argument" >&2 && usage >&2 && exit 99 ;;
        ? ) echo "${SCRIPT_NAME}: -$OPTARG: unknown option" >&2 && usage >&2 && exit 99 ;;
    esac
done
shift $((${OPTIND} - 1))

下面是一个测试:

# Short options test
$ ./foobar_any_getopts.sh -bF "Hello world" -B 6 file1 file2
foo=0 bar=1
barfoo=6
foobar=1 foobar_name=Hello world
files=file1 file2

# Long and short options test
$ ./foobar_any_getopts.sh --bar -F Hello --barfoo 6 file1 file2
foo=0 bar=1
barfoo=6
foobar=1 foobar_name=Hello
files=file1 file2

另外，在最近的Korn Shell ksh93中，getopts可以自然地解析长选项，甚至显示类似的手册页。(参见http://www.uxora.com/unix/shell-script/20-getopts-with-man-page-and-long-options)

我只是偶尔写一些shell脚本，但没有实践经验，所以任何反馈都很感激。

使用@Arvid Requate提出的策略，我们注意到一些用户错误。忘记包含值的用户会意外地将下一个选项的名称视为值:

./getopts_test.sh --loglevel= --toc=TRUE

将导致"loglevel"的值被视为"——toc=TRUE"。这可以 被避免的。

我从http://mwiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/035关于手动解析的讨论中改编了一些关于检查CLI用户错误的想法。我在处理"-"和"——"参数时插入了错误检查。

然后我开始摆弄语法，所以这里的任何错误都是我的错，而不是原始作者的错。

我的方法可以帮助那些喜欢输入带等号或不带等号的长字符的用户。也就是说，它对“——loglevel 9”的响应应该与“——loglevel=9”的响应相同。在——/space方法中，不可能确定用户是否忘记了一个参数，因此需要进行一些猜测。

如果用户使用长/等号格式(——opt=)，则=后的空格会触发错误，因为没有提供参数。 如果user有长/空格参数(——opt)，如果后面没有参数(命令结束)或参数以破折号开头，该脚本将导致失败。

In case you are starting out on this, there is an interesting difference between "--opt=value" and "--opt value" formats. With the equal sign, the command line argument is seen as "opt=value" and the work to handle that is string parsing, to separate at the "=". In contrast, with "--opt value", the name of the argument is "opt" and we have the challenge of getting the next value supplied in the command line. That's where @Arvid Requate used ${!OPTIND}, the indirect reference. I still don't understand that, well, at all, and comments in BashFAQ seem to warn against that style (http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/006). BTW, I don't think previous poster's comments about importance of OPTIND=$(( $OPTIND + 1 )) are correct. I mean to say, I see no harm from omitting it.

在该脚本的最新版本中，flag -v表示详细打印输出。

将其保存在一个名为“cli-5.sh”的文件中，使其可执行，其中任何一个都将以预期的方式工作或失败

./cli-5.sh  -v --loglevel=44 --toc  TRUE
./cli-5.sh  -v --loglevel=44 --toc=TRUE
./cli-5.sh --loglevel 7
./cli-5.sh --loglevel=8
./cli-5.sh -l9

./cli-5.sh  --toc FALSE --loglevel=77
./cli-5.sh  --toc=FALSE --loglevel=77

./cli-5.sh   -l99 -t yyy
./cli-5.sh   -l 99 -t yyy

下面是对用户intpu进行错误检查的示例输出

$ ./cli-5.sh  --toc --loglevel=77
ERROR: toc value must not have dash at beginning
$ ./cli-5.sh  --toc= --loglevel=77
ERROR: value for toc undefined

您应该考虑打开-v，因为它会打印OPTIND和OPTARG的内部内容
