getopt will accept all unique shortenings of long form arguments.

 From the man page:

       A long option normally begins with `--'  followed  by  the
       long  option name.  If the option has a required argument,
       it may be written directly after  the  long  option  name,
       separated  by  `=', or as the next argument (ie. separated
       by whitespace on the command line).  If the option has  an
       optional  argument,  it must be written directly after the
       long option name, separated by `=', if present (if you add
       the  `=' but nothing behind it, it is interpreted as if no
       argument was present; this is a slight bug, see the BUGS).
*      Long  options may be abbreviated, as long as the abbrevia­
*      tion is not ambiguous.
