+This package contains a reimplementation of getopt(1).
+
+PREFACE
+
+Getopt(1) is a program to help shell scripts parse command-line parameters.
+
+HIGHLIGHTS
+
+It can do anything that the GNU getopt(3) routines can do.
+
+It can cope with spaces and shell metacharacters within arguments.
+
+It can parse long parameters.
+
+It can shuffle parameters, so you can mix options and other parameters on
+the command-line.
+
+It can be easily identified as an enhanced getopt(1) from within shell scripts.
+
+It can report parse errors as coming from the shell script.
+
+It is fully compatible with other getopt(1) implementations.
