DD_OPTS

Setting arguments, dd-style; arg1=’hello world’

Usage:

  your_script_or_function_using_dd_opts arg1=val1 arg2=’7*(%78^^)’ first_non_option_argument arg3=”this won’t set a value"

arg1=val1 will set DD_OPT_arg1=val1 etc. in a completely safe manner.

to achieve this:

  source dd_opts.bash
  eval “$DD_OPTS_PARSE”
  
  #eval “$DD_OPTS_PARSE_LOCAL” 
  #^ if you’re inside a function and don’t want different functions using DD_OPTS to clash

Examples

Read dd_opts_spec.bash for examles or run it to ensure the examples work.
