Whoah, wait a minute! I like getopt() as much as anyone, but I
thought we were talking about something to go *inside* the file on
the SYNTH BEGIN line(s), not necessarily on the command line. Units
may be universal for all synthesized parts in a file, but I think
the length and name are best tied to a specific SYNTH part in the
file. So how about this? Global defaults are set on the command
line with getopt() style params. These can be overridden for each
synthesized part by named parameters on the SYNTH BEGIN line of
each synthesized part.
I'd like to see something like --filename --outputfile --subfiles
--onlysynthparts in addition to the length and units on the cmd line.
I'm not sure how to work the default input and output. Perhaps
make it stdin and stdout unless overridden by -f or -o. I guess
for backwards compatibility I'd also allow the first cmdline param
without a "-" to be the input file, and the 2nd without a "-" to
be the output file. Informational messages should go to stderr.
The --subfiles option would tell the program to copy the input file
to the output file as is, and dump the synthesized parts to either
numbered subfiles, or files named by the "NAME=" option.
The --onlysynthparts option would tell the program to skip everything
but the new synthesized parts. These would either go to stdout, the
named outputfile, or individual subfiles, depending on the other
command line options.
Does this make sense?
