Description:
getopts builtin command problem when parameters lack
Repeat-By:
While trying to use getopts builtin bash command I encountered the
following problem:
Test script:
#!/bin/sh (/bin/bash)
getopts ":xy" X
echo $X
The output for this script , ran without parameters is :
Fedora Core 1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# sh script
a
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# sh script -t
a
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# sh script -x
x
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
Fedora Core 2
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# sh script
a f
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# sh script -t
a f
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# sh script -x
x
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
According to the man page it should return `?' (question mark).
Tests were also performed on Debian and Slackware distributions
and the results were as expected. (OK)
If there is something that I should've known, please let me know.
Chris.
