# Simple usage cases for getopts.
#
# OPTIND is either not touched at all (first loop with getopts,
# relying on shell startup init), or getopts state is reset
# before new loop with "unset OPTIND", "OPTIND=1" or "OPTIND=0".
#
# Each option is a separate argument (no "-abc"). This conceptually
# needs only $OPTIND to hold getopts state.
#
# We check that loop does not stop on unknown option (sets "?"),
# stops on _first_ non-option argument.
