In "/usr/share/getopt", resides the file: 'getopt-parse.bash'. Line 9 of that file is: '# ./parse.bash -a par1 'another arg' --c-long 'wow!*\?' -cmore -b " very long"' which, in a moment of haste, led me to think I could just "cut-n-paste" it to the bash prompt to run the example--no joy. Changing line 9 to: '# ./getopt-parse.bash -a par1 'another arg' --c-long 'wow!*\?' -cmore -b " very long"' would allow that. i.e., keeping the command line keyword the same as the file name would be a nice touch.
