# Description: `bkgettext` prints text between and including two
# specified tags.

# Usage:
#    $ bkgettext [ -s tagStart ]  [ -e tagEnd ]  [ -f file ]

echoerr() { echo "$@" 1>&2; } # function for outputing to stderr; see [3]
vc() { [ "$OPTION_VERBOSE" == "true" ] && return 0 || return 1; } # returns true if verbose mode active
print_help() { echoerr "Usage: [ -s tagStart ]  [ -e tagEnd ]  [ -f file ] "; } # print help
process_inputs() {
    # echoerr "process_inputs() \$1:""===""$1""==="
    # echoerr "process_inputs() \$2:""===""$2""==="
