# With 'getopt' you cannot combine different #
# arguments for different nested functions. #
# #
# 'getopts' does not support long arguments with #
# values (like '--foo=bar'). #
# #
# These functions supports different arguments and #
# their combinations: #
# -a -b -c #
# -a avalue -b bvalue -c cvalue #
# -cab bvalue #
# --arg #
# --arg=value -ab -c cvalue --foo #
# #
# Tested in Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS in: #
# bash 5.0.17(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) #

# Keep in mind:
# 1. Short arguments can be specified contiguously or separately
# and their order does not matter, but before each of them
# (or the first of them) one leading dash must be specified.
# Valid combinations: '-a -b -c', '-cba', '-b -ac'
# 2. Short arguments can have values and if are - value must go
# next to argument itself.
# Valid combinations: '-ab avalue', '-ba avalue', '-a avalue -b'
# 3. Long arguments cannot be combined like short ones and each
# of them must be specified separately with two leading dashes.
# Valid combinations: '--foo --bar', '--bar --foo'
# 4. Long arguments can have a value which must be specified after '='.
# Valid combinations: '--foo=value --bar', '--bar --foo=value'
# 5. Values cannot contain spaces even in quotes both for short and
# long args, otherwise first word will return as value.
# 6. You can use arg() or argl() to check presence of any arg, no matter
# if it has value or not.
### USAGE ###
# This is simple examples which you can play around with.
# first we must save the original arguments passed
# to the script when it was called:
__MAIN_ARGS=$@
echo -e "\n1. Short args (vars):"
arg a 1 a # -a
arg v 0 v # -v v_value
arg c 1 c # -c
arg z 1 z # -z (not exists)
echo "1.1 a=$a"
echo "1.2 v=$v"
echo "1.3 c=$c"
echo "1.4 z=$z"
echo -e "\n2. Short args (echo):"
echo "2.1 a=$(arg a 1)"
echo "2.2 v=$(arg v 0)"
echo "2.3 c=$(arg c 1)"
echo "2.4 z=$(arg z 1)"
echo -e "\n3. Long args (vars):"
argl flag 1 flag # --flag
argl param1 0 param1 # --param1=test
argl param2 0 param2 # --param2=password
argl bar 1 bar # --bar (not exists)
echo "3.1 flag=$flag"
echo "3.2 param1=$param1"
echo "3.3 param2=$param2"
echo "3.4 bar=$bar"
echo -e "\n4. Long args (echo):"
echo "4.1 flag=$(argl flag 1)"
echo "4.2 param1=$(argl param1 0)"
echo "4.3 param2=$(argl param2 0)"
echo "4.4 bar=$(argl bar 1)"
echo -e "\n5. Args by index:"
argn 1 first
echo "5.1 arg[1]=$first"
echo "5.2 arg[3]=$(argn 3)"
# Well, now we will try to get global args inside different functions
food() {
echo -e "\n=== food() ==="
arg f 0 food
argl 'food' 0 food
[ $food ] && echo "Om nom nom! $food is very tasty" || echo "Uh oh" >&2
}
hello() {
echo -e "\n=== hello() ==="
arg n 0 name
argl name 0 name
[ $name ] && echo "Hi, $name! How u r doin?" || echo "Hello, stranger..." >&2
}
hello
