Question

I want to implement a script which gets some command line arguments and options.
There are so many different syntax types in command line arguments that I’m sometime confused.

Here are some examples:

./my_script -f -abc --file --name=lior -Dsomething=value -arg val

… and I guess there are even more…

Can anyone please make some order here?

(Best practices and recommendations are welcomed too)

Thanks,

Lior
