I have been working on my scripts for user/group permissions today. This idea has been on my back burner for awhile. I’m sure others have done this before. I just haven’t encountered them yet.
I was thinking of just trying to find the flags where they start a line and put everything in a string array until the next line that starts with a flag. Then I would just call the script with the command, a loop would match the flags and print the matches.
you’re probably looking for getopt/getopts. one big difference between them is getopt handles --long options while getopt doesn’t.
