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



NAME
     cvrtopt - options converter

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

DESCRIPTION
     Cvrtopt reformats args (usually the command line arguments
     of a calling shell procedure) to facilitate processing by
     shell procedures.  An arg is either a filename (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 filenames.
     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.

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

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

     Set 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
