Parse option arguments.

Getopts is used by shell procedures to parse positional parameters
as options.

OPTSTRING contains the option letters to be recognized; if a letter
is followed by a colon, the option is expected to have an argument,
which should be separated from it by white space.

Each time it is invoked, getopts will place the next option in the
shell variable $name, initializing name if it does not exist, and
the index of the next argument to be processed into the shell
variable OPTIND. OPTIND is initialized to 1 each time the shell or
a shell script is invoked. When an option requires an argument,
getopts places that argument into the shell variable OPTARG.

getopts reports errors in one of two ways. If the first character
of OPTSTRING is a colon, getopts uses silent error reporting. In
this mode, no error messages are printed. If an invalid option is
seen, getopts places the option character found into OPTARG. If a
required argument is not found, getopts places a ':' into NAME and
sets OPTARG to the option character found. If getopts is not in
silent mode, and an invalid option is seen, getopts places '?' into
NAME and unsets OPTARG. If a required argument is not found, a '?'
is placed in NAME, OPTARG is unset, and a diagnostic message is
printed.

If the shell variable OPTERR has the value 0, getopts disables the
printing of error messages, even if the first character of
OPTSTRING is not a colon. OPTERR has the value 1 by default.

Getopts normally parses the positional parameters ($0 - $9), but if
more arguments are given, they are parsed instead.

Exit Status:
Returns success if an option is found; fails if the end of options is
encountered or an error occurs.

Modify shell resource limits.

Provides control over the resources available to the shell and processes
it creates, on systems that allow such control.

Options:
-S[tab]use the `soft' resource limit
-H[tab]use the `hard' resource limit
-a[tab]all current limits are reported
-b[tab]the socket buffer size
-c[tab]the maximum size of core files created
-d[tab]the maximum size of a process's data segment
-e[tab]the maximum scheduling priority (`nice')
-f[tab]the maximum size of files written by the shell and its children
-i[tab]the maximum number of pending signals
-k[tab]the maximum number of kqueues allocated for this process
-l[tab]the maximum size a process may lock into memory
-m[tab]the maximum resident set size
-n[tab]the maximum number of open file descriptors
-p[tab]the pipe buffer size
-q[tab]the maximum number of bytes in POSIX message queues
-r[tab]the maximum real-time scheduling priority
-s[tab]the maximum stack size
-t[tab]the maximum amount of cpu time in seconds
-u[tab]the maximum number of user processes
-v[tab]the size of virtual memory
-x[tab]the maximum number of file locks
-P[tab]the maximum number of pseudoterminals
-T[tab]the maximum number of threads

Not all options are available on all platforms.

If LIMIT is given, it is the new value of the specified resource; the
special LIMIT values `soft', `hard', and `unlimited' stand for the
current soft limit, the current hard limit, and no limit, respectively.
Otherwise, the current value of the specified resource is printed. If
no option is given, then -f is assumed.

Values are in 1024-byte increments, except for -t, which is in seconds,
-p, which is in increments of 512 bytes, and -u, which is an unscaled
number of processes.

Exit Status:
Returns success unless an invalid option is supplied or an error occurs.
