Re: [help-gengetopt] Feature requests: gettext

[Tim Post]

Hi,

Just to clarify, this is from NBSD getopt:

static const char recargchar[] = "option requires an argument -- %c";
static const char recargstring[] = "option requires an argument -- %s";
static const char ambig[] = "ambiguous option -- %.*sn";
static const char noarg[] = "option doesn't take an argument -- %.*sn";
static const char illoptchar[] = "unknown option -- %cn";
static const char illoptstring[] = "unknown option -- %sn";

FBSD, OBSD are similar, just longer to account for various GNU getopt
compatibility.

This is why I say the output would be (at best) mixed on many systems
when adding gettext. The above strings are expanded by warnx(), which
does not use gettext.

I really think this could introduce more porting headaches for
gengetopt, without much of a pay off.

Cheers,
--Tim
