@gumnos@mastodon.bsd.cafe I am the voice of experience: @rl_dane@polymaths.social was talking about getopt yesterday, and I found that I was running a /usr/local/bin/getopt from ports with very different handling of '--' (alluded to by @steeph@todon.eu , so I had been checking it out) to the actual #FreeBSD /usr/bin/getopt on the machine. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm running a different /usr/bin/grep (I checked that.) to you. "I'm using FreeBSD grep." has famously been two entirely different programs over the years. #getopt #grep
