Re: [help-gengetopt] --unamed-opts question

[Eli Cohen]

Hi Lorenzo,
I have just tried 2.19rc but it does not seem to solve my problem.
Here is the file  used:

package "rxc"
version "0.1"
args "--file-name=ccmdline --unamed-opts="<host> <command>"
purpose "this is a client for the remote execute package"
option "port" p "tcp port number" short typestr="port number" no

I still can't get rid of the square brackets and the elipsis...

Thanks
Eli
