to approach this. Using getops I am parsing the argv array to grab
command line options; from the command line the user can specify either
a filename or a directory (but not both). Is there an eloquent way with
getopts to do an either/or scenario without resorting to multiple tests
to see which variable is set using if then statements?

I'm not really sure what you are looking for here. If you use two 
options, you will have to test to see which option is set. You could use 
one option, then you will have to test to see if the value is a file or 
a directory.
