    Avoid BSD Masochism: Obey the command Line

    Using BASH's getopt and typesett to simplify BASH code.

    getopts is a bash built-in that parses options and their arguments passed to a script, processing them sequentially within a while loop. It provides a structured way to handle complex input in BASH "shell scripts."

    typeset is a built-in Bash command. You can use the typeset command to declare variables and set their attributes. If no variable name is specified, it displays their values.

    Monthly Meetings

    This Saint Louis MO, STL Linux Users Group (STLLUG) meets monthly to learn and talk about Linux. To avoid back-to-back meetings, this GNU/Linux Users Group usually holds its meetings ( eight days after ) on the second Thursday after the monthly meeting of the Saint Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG). Eight days after would either be the third Thursday or the fourth Thursday of each month.

    These meetings are free, public and open to all.

    We begin gathering about 6:00PM to test microphones, screen sharing and webcams. At 6:30PM we start with introductions, announcements, current events of interest, and a general CALL-FOR-HELP segment. Then we will go into the presentation of our main topic, sometime after or around 6:45PM.
