getopt.getopt(args, options[, long_options])¶

Parses command line options and parameter list. args is the argument list to
be parsed, without the leading reference to the running program. Typically, this
means sys.argv[1:]. options is the string of option letters that the
script wants to recognize, with options that require an argument followed by a
colon (':'; i.e., the same format that Unix getopt uses).
