Bug 229855 – dev-util/shflags (new ebuild)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Maciej Blizinski 2008-06-28 01:30:18 UTC]

Shell Flags – command-line flags module for Unix shell scripts



Shell Flags (shFlags) is a library written to greatly simplify the handling of command-line flags in Bourne based Unix shell scripts (bash, dash, ksh, sh, zsh) on many Unix OSes (Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, etc.).

Most shell scripts use getopt for flags processing, but the different versions of getopt on various OSes make writing portable shell scripts difficult. shflags instead provides an API that doesn't change across shell and OS versions so the script writer can be confident that the script will work.

shFlags is a port of the google-gflags C++/Python library.


Reproducible: Always

You're misusing the doc use flag. It is for extended documentation. The basic  readme/changelog/releasenotes text file are to be installed unconditionally. For hello_world.sh you might use the examples use flag.
