35 typedef int parse_opt_cb(const struct option *, const char *arg, int unset);
38 * `type`::
39 * holds the type of the option, you must have an OPTION_END last in your
40 * array.
42 * `short_name`::
43 * the character to use as a short option name, '\0' if none.
45 * `long_name`::
46 * the long option name, without the leading dashes, NULL if none.
48 * `value`::
49 * stores pointers to the values to be filled.
51 * `argh`::
52 * token to explain the kind of argument this option wants. Keep it
53 * homogenous across the repository.
55 * `help`::
56 * the short help associated to what the option does.
57 * Must never be NULL (except for OPTION_END).
58 * OPTION_GROUP uses this pointer to store the group header.
60 * `flags`::
61 * mask of parse_opt_option_flags.
62 * PARSE_OPT_OPTARG: says that the argument is optionnal (not for BOOLEANs)
63 * PARSE_OPT_NOARG: says that this option takes no argument, for CALLBACKs
64 * PARSE_OPT_NONEG: says that this option cannot be negated
65 * PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN this option is skipped in the default usage, showed in
66 * the long one.
68 * `callback`::
69 * pointer to the callback to use for OPTION_CALLBACK.
71 * `defval`::
72 * default value to fill (*->value) with for PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
73 * OPTION_{BIT,SET_INT,SET_PTR} store the {mask,integer,pointer} to put in
74 * the value when met.
75 * CALLBACKS can use it like they want.
