It generates a basic skeleton with help and getopts

#!/bin/sh
help(){
  cat <<EOF
usage: `basename $0` <args>
<description>
arguments:
  <options>
EOF
  exit 1
}
while getopts ":hn:" opt; do
  case $opt in
    h)  help;;
    n)  NAME="$OPTARG";;
    \?) echo "Invalid option: -$OPTARG" >&2 ;help; exit 1 ;;
    :)  echo "Option -$OPTARG requires an argument." >&2; help; exit 1;;
  esac
done
