getopts
getopts ('switches'[, \%opts])
Like getopt, except that
all valid options are included in
switches, and options that take an
argument are followed by a colon (:). For example:
getopt('oDI') # -o, -D, & -I take arguments; there may
# be other options
getopts('o:DI') # -o, -D, and -I are the only valid
# options; only -o takes an argument\%
opts means the same as with getopt.
