| Summary | 0000171: Omission in syntax guideline 5 | ||||
| Description | Utility syntax guideline 5 states: "Options without option-arguments should be accepted when grouped behind one '-' delimiter." It omits any mention of grouping one or more options without option-arguments together with one option that does take an option-argument. For example: grep -ivf pattern_file input_file This is common existing practice in applications and in interactive shell commands. | ||||
| Desired Action | Change: Options without option-arguments should be accepted when grouped behind one '-' delimiter. to: One or more options without option-arguments, followed by at most one option that takes an option-argument, should be accepted when grouped behind one '-' delimiter. | ||||
