4 * Plug-compatible replacement for getopt() for parsing tar-like
5 * arguments. If the first argument begins with "-", it uses getopt;
6 * otherwise, it uses the old rules used by tar, dump, and ps.

8 * Written 25 August 1985 by John Gilmore (ihnp4!hoptoad!gnu) and placed
9 * in the Public Domain for your edification and enjoyment.
