134 If the caller did not specify anything,

136 POSIXLY_CORRECT is defined, PERMUTE otherwise.
138 REQUIRE_ORDER means don't recognize them as options;
139 stop option processing when the first non-option is seen.
140 This is what Unix does.
141 This mode of operation is selected by either setting the environment
142 variable POSIXLY_CORRECT, or using `+' as the first character
143 of the list of option characters.
145 PERMUTE is the default. We permute the contents of ARGV as we scan,
146 so that eventually all the non-options are at the end. This allows options
147 to be given in any order, even with programs that were not written to
148 expect this.
150 RETURN_IN_ORDER is an option available to programs that were written
151 to expect options and other ARGV-elements in any order and that care about
152 the ordering of the two. We describe each non-option ARGV-element
153 as if it were the argument of an option with character code 1.
154 Using `-' as the first character of the list of option characters
155 selects this mode of operation.
157 The special argument `--' forces an end of option-scanning regardless
158 of the value of `ordering'. In the case of RETURN_IN_ORDER, only

324 If an element of ARGV starts with '-', and is not exactly "-" or "--",
325 then it is an option element. The characters of this element
326 (aside from the initial '-') are option characters. If `getopt'
327 is called repeatedly, it returns successively each of the option characters
328 from each of the option elements.
330 If `getopt' finds another option character, it returns that character,
331 updating `optind' and `nextchar' so that the next call to `getopt' can
332 resume the scan with the following option character or ARGV-element.
334 If there are no more option characters, `getopt' returns `EOF'.
335 Then `optind' is the index in ARGV of the first ARGV-element
336 that is not an option. (The ARGV-elements have been permuted
337 so that those that are not options now come last.)
339 OPTSTRING is a string containing the legitimate option characters.
340 If an option character is seen that is not listed in OPTSTRING,
341 return '?' after printing an error message. If you set `opterr' to
342 zero, the error message is suppressed but we still return '?'.
344 If a char in OPTSTRING is followed by a colon, that means it wants an arg,
345 so the following text in the same ARGV-element, or the text of the following
346 ARGV-element, is returned in `optarg'. Two colons mean an option that
347 wants an optional arg; if there is text in the current ARGV-element,
348 it is returned in `optarg', otherwise `optarg' is set to zero.
350 If OPTSTRING starts with `-' or `+', it requests different methods of
351 handling the non-option ARGV-elements.
352 See the comments about RETURN_IN_ORDER and REQUIRE_ORDER, above.
354 Long-named options begin with `--' instead of `-'.
355 Their names may be abbreviated as long as the abbreviation is unique
356 or is an exact match for some defined option. If they have an
357 argument, it follows the option name in the same ARGV-element, separated
358 from the option name by a `=', or else the in next ARGV-element.
359 When `getopt' finds a long-named option, it returns 0 if that option's
360 `flag' field is nonzero, the value of the option's `val' field
361 if the `flag' field is zero.
363 The elements of ARGV aren't really const, because we permute them.
364 But we pretend they're const in the prototype to be compatible
365 with other systems.
367 LONGOPTS is a vector of `struct option' terminated by an
368 element containing a name which is zero.
370 LONGIND returns the index in LONGOPT of the long-named option found.
371 It is only valid when a long-named option has been found by the most
372 recent call.
374 If LONG_ONLY is nonzero, '-' as well as '--' can introduce
