Introduction

After creating a Bash script to clip an image to text, I created 5 more scripts for article header images. I used Getoptions for the option parser. It allows me to display options for the subcommands as well. Getoptions also allows getting help messages for subcommands.

$ teffects -help
$ teffects 3d -help
$ teffects split --help
