Looks good.
It would be nice to have some syntax-check to check the
"struct long_options" array and make sure all of them are documented in
--help and in the manual.
I guess there is some options we purposefully don't document, though. I
assume we exclude --rfc-2822 and --rfc-822 from 'date --help' since it
is the same as 'date --rfc-email', for example.
Good idea, Off the top of my head something based on the following might work:
getopts() { sed -n '/longopts\[/,/^}/p' src/$1.c; }
shortopts() { getopts $1 | cut -s -d"'" -f2; }
longopts() { getopts $1 | cut -s -d'"' -f2; }
cmd=wc
for opt in $(longopts $cmd) $(shortopts $cmd); do
echo checking $cmd $opt
src/$cmd --help | grep -F -- -$opt >/dev/null ||
printf '--%s missing\n' $opt
done
cheers,
