I have used getopt() and I have implemented it this way. My observation is that the standard ls command in Unix does not work in this way. I have checked it in Linux Lab. So my question was "why", not "how".</div><div><br></div><div>-Sadia</div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On Oct 6, 2014, at 3:58 PM, Pengfei Zhang <<a href="mailto:pzhang11@stevens.edu">pzhang11@stevens.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">I implement this by using getopt, it would get options as the order you input.
