getoldopt.c revision 1.2 1 /*
2 * Plug-compatible replacement for getopt() for parsing tar-like
3 * arguments. If the first argument begins with "-", it uses getopt;
4 * otherwise, it uses the old rules used by tar, dump, and ps.
5 *
6 * Written 25 August 1985 by John Gilmore (ihnp4!hoptoad!gnu) and placed
7 * in the Pubic Domain for your edification and enjoyment.
