[issue38690] Command line option with &/or without a space results in the same outcome
by Ned Deily Nov. 5, 2019

Nov. 5, 2019

Ned Deily <nad(a)python.org> added the comment: That's an interesting question. There is much prior art here dating back to the earliest days of Unix. The Open Group Base Specification has a section dealing with the syntax of utility arguments with suggestions of when or when not a space between the option and the option argument is needed and how to document the difference, i.e. [-c option_argument] vs [-f[option_argument]] https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/… [View More]
