Hm. I don't like that because of the "(without space!)"

If the option could have been passed like all other options (with space), it
would have been ok. But not like this.

I know that this is a getopt problem ...

Btw. why can't you just use '-L' and redirect the output, e.g.

candump -L can0 > mylogfile.log

??
