Hi all, I just released version 1.1.6 of getopt. It can be downloaded from http://frodo.looijaard.name/project/getopt . A subversion repository is available at svn://svn.frodo.looijaard.name/public/getopt . >From the release notes: Major bug fixes in this version: * Properly quote backslashes for tcsh * Detect ambiguous long options properly (thanks to Klaus Wulff <dinw.klswlff@xxxxxxxx>) Other changes: * Create test harness and tests * Sync with util-linux (git 20141120)): translations, manual page and code Note that there are (still) a few slight changes between these getopt sources and the util-linux version in getopt.c: * Includes are slightly different * Util-linux has removed a free(BUFFER) and added an atexit(close_stdout) call. Please be aware of this when merging the other changes.
