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。

看一下shFlags，它是一个可移植的shell库(意思是:sh, bash, dash, ksh, zsh在Linux, Solaris等上)。

它使得添加新标志就像在脚本中添加一行一样简单，并且它提供了一个自动生成的用法函数。

这是一个简单的Hello, world!使用shFlag:

#!/bin/sh

# source shflags from current directory
. ./shflags

# define a 'name' command-line string flag
DEFINE_string 'name' 'world' 'name to say hello to' 'n'

# parse the command-line
FLAGS "$@" || exit 1
eval set -- "${FLAGS_ARGV}"

# say hello
echo "Hello, ${FLAGS_name}!"

对于具有支持长选项的增强getopt的操作系统(例如Linux)，您可以这样做:

$ ./hello_world.sh --name Kate
Hello, Kate!

对于其他情况，您必须使用短选项:

$ ./hello_world.sh -n Kate
Hello, Kate!

添加一个新标志就像添加一个新的DEFINE_调用一样简单。

改进的解决方案:

# translate long options to short
# Note: This enable long options but disable "--?*" in $OPTARG, or disable long options after  "--" in option fields.
for ((i=1;$#;i++)) ; do
    case "$1" in
        --)
            # [ ${args[$((i-1))]} == ... ] || EndOpt=1 ;;& # DIRTY: we still can handle some execptions...
            EndOpt=1 ;;&
        --version) ((EndOpt)) && args[$i]="$1"  || args[$i]="-V";;
        # default case : short option use the first char of the long option:
        --?*) ((EndOpt)) && args[$i]="$1"  || args[$i]="-${1:2:1}";;
        # pass through anything else:
        *) args[$i]="$1" ;;
    esac
    shift
done
# reset the translated args
set -- "${args[@]}"

function usage {
echo "Usage: $0 [options] files" >&2
    exit $1
}

# now we can process with getopt
while getopts ":hvVc:" opt; do
    case $opt in
        h)  usage ;;
        v)  VERBOSE=true ;;
        V)  echo $Version ; exit ;;
        c)  source $OPTARG ;;
        \?) echo "unrecognized option: -$opt" ; usage -1 ;;
        :)
        echo "option -$OPTARG requires an argument"
        usage -1
        ;;
    esac
done

shift $((OPTIND-1))
[[ "$1" == "--" ]] && shift

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 "$@"

另一种方式…

# translate long options to short
for arg
do
    delim=""
    case "$arg" in
       --help) args="${args}-h ";;
       --verbose) args="${args}-v ";;
       --config) args="${args}-c ";;
       # pass through anything else
       *) [[ "${arg:0:1}" == "-" ]] || delim="\""
           args="${args}${delim}${arg}${delim} ";;
    esac
done
# reset the translated args
eval set -- $args
# now we can process with getopt
while getopts ":hvc:" opt; do
    case $opt in
        h)  usage ;;
        v)  VERBOSE=true ;;
        c)  source $OPTARG ;;
        \?) usage ;;
        :)
        echo "option -$OPTARG requires an argument"
        usage
        ;;
    esac
done

发明了另一个版本的轮子……

这个函数(希望)是一个posix兼容的普通bourne shell替换GNU getopt。它支持短/长选项，可以接受强制/可选/无参数，并且指定选项的方式几乎与GNU getopt相同，因此转换是微不足道的。

当然，要放入脚本中，这仍然是相当大的代码块，但它大约是众所周知的getopt_long shell函数的一半行数，并且在您只想替换现有的GNU getopt使用的情况下可能更可取。

这是相当新的代码，所以是YMMV(如果因为某种原因它实际上与POSIX不兼容，请务必告诉我——可移植性是一开始的意图，但我没有一个有用的POSIX测试环境)。
