138 If the caller did not specify anything,

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

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