Ever had a look at zparseopts?
foo() {
local suffix
zparseopts -D -E 'S:=suffix'
print "user-supplied suffix: ${suffix:-<none>}"
print "remaining arguments: $*"
}
% foo -J group -S test -X format other arguments
user-supplied suffix: -S test
remaining arguments: -J group -X format other arguments
% foo -J group -X format no suffix here
user-supplied suffix: <none>
remaining arguments: -J group -X format no suffix here
What else do you need?
Bye
