-
- Here's something you've all been waiting for: the AT&T public domain
- source for getopt(3). It is the code which was given out at the 1985
- UNIFORUM conference in Dallas. I obtained it by electronic mail
- directly from AT&T. The people there assure me that it is indeed
- in the public domain.
-
- There is no manual page. That is because the one they gave out at
- UNIFORUM was slightly different from the current System V Release 2
- manual page. The difference apparently involved a note about the
- famous rules 5 and 6, recommending using white space between an option
- and its first argument, and not grouping options that have arguments.
- Getopt itself is currently lenient about both of these things White
- space is allowed, but not mandatory, and the last option in a group can
- have an argument. That particular version of the man page evidently
- has no official existence, and my source at AT&T did not send a copy.
- The current SVR2 man page reflects the actual behavor of this getopt.
- However, I am not about to post a copy of anything licensed by AT&T.
-
- I will submit this source to Berkeley as a bug fix.
-
- I, personally, make no claims or guarantees of any kind about the
- following source. I did compile it to get some confidence that
- it arrived whole, but beyond that you're on your own.

- A couple of days after I posted the getopt source, I finally got
- the copy I had ordered from the AT&T toolchest. They are identical,
- except that the one from the toolchest has the following prepended:
-
- 1,14d0
- < /*

- < * Copyright (c) 1984, 1985 AT&T
- < * All Rights Reserved
- <
- < * THIS IS UNPUBLISHED PROPRIETARY SOURCE
- < * CODE OF AT&T.
- < * The copyright notice above does not
- < * evidence any actual or intended
- < * publication of such source code.
- <
- < */
- < #ident "@(#)getopt.c 1.9"
- < /* 3.0 SID # 1.2 */
-
- AT&T appear to be of two minds about this, since the copy I got
- directly by mail from them did not have any such notice, and this is in
- fact the same code which *was* published at the Dallas Uniforum, and
- made public domain, to boot. Since the copy I posted was not the
- toolchest one, and had no such notice, I guess the notice is irrelevant.
-
- Now to send them a check for $1.80 for the toolchest transmission fee....
