More recently, GNU software adopted the --longoptionname style, usually in addition to traditional, single-character, -x style equivalents.

A few Unix commands (e.g. ar, tar) allow the "-" to be omitted. Some options may or must be followed by a value, e.g. "cc prog.c -o prog", sometimes with and sometimes without an intervening space.
