CVRTOPT(1G)             COMMAND REFERENCE             CVRTOPT(1G)



NAME
     cvrtopt - options converter

SYNOPSIS
     cvrtopt [ -fstring ] [ -istring ] [ -sstring ] [ -tstring ]
     [ arg ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     The cvrtopt command reformats args (usually the command line
     arguments of a calling shell procedure) to facilitate
     processing by shell procedures.  An arg is either a file
     name (a string not beginning with a '-', or a '-' by itself)
     or an option string (a string of options beginning with a
     '-').  Output is of the form:

          -option -option . . . filename(s)

     All options appear singularly and preceding any file names.
     Option names that take values (e.g., -r1.1) or are two
     letters long must be described through options to cvrtopt.
     Output is to the standard output.

     The cvrtopt command is usually used with set(1sh) in the
     following manner as the first line of a shell script:

          set - `cvrtopt [=option(s)] $@`

     The set command resets the command argument string
     ($1,$2,...) to the output of cvrtopt.  The minus option to
     set turns off all flags so that the options produced by
     cvrtopt are not interpreted as options to set.

OPTIONS
     -fstring       String accepts floating point numbers as
                    values.

     -istring       String accepts integers as values.

     -sstring       String accepts string values.

     -tstring       String is a two letter option name that takes
                    no value.

     Each string is a one or two letter option name.

EXAMPLES
     The following example outputs -c1 -x -y -ofile -r1.1e3 -xi A
     - B:

          cvrtopt =ic,so,txi,fr -c1 -x,y,ofile A - B -r1.1e3,xi
