Try to be standard
You may use bash scripts from GitHub, and you may notice that there is a standard option scheme that is followed. It's not required, but it is preferable.
These are some of the commonly used options:
-a
: List all items-c

: Ignore the character case-l
: List a text-o
: Send output to a file-q
: Keep silent; don't ask the user-r
: Process something recursively-s
