In ksh93, if you do "getopts --man" you will see this synopsis: getopts [ options ] opstring name [args...]
As described in the manpage text: Each time it is invoked, the getopts utility places the value of the next option in the shell variable specified by the name operand [...] Thus the 'name' variable is a call-by-name argument. I use call-by-name all the time in my shell functions, especially with compound variables. Regards, Mario I.
