Jul,
I think the man pages you are reading is for the commands getopt/getopts.
Possibly the builtin shell version.  They would be in section one, i.e.
getopt(1) at the top of the page.

What amanda would be using the the 'C' library version(s) of those commands.
They would be described in section 3 man pages.
