  62 /* Describe the long-named options requested by the application.
  63    The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
  64    of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
  65    zero.
  66
  67    The field `has_arg' is:
  68    no_argument          (or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
  69    required_argument    (or 1) if the option requires an argument,
  70    optional_argument    (or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
  71
  72    If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
  73    to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
  74    left unchanged if the option is not found.
  75
  76    To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
  77    a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
  78    option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
  79    value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
  80    one).  For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
  81    returns the contents of the `val' field.  */

 108
 109    Return the option character from OPTS just read.  Return -1 when
 110    there are no more options.  For unrecognized options, or options
 111    missing arguments, `optopt' is set to the option letter, and '?' is
 112    returned.
 113
 114    The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
 115    letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
 116    takes an argument, to be placed in `optarg'.
 117
 118    If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
 119    optional.  This behavior is specific to the GNU `getopt'.
 120
 121    The argument `--' causes premature termination of argument
 122    scanning, explicitly telling `getopt' that there are no more
 123    options.
 124
 125    If OPTS begins with `--', then non-option arguments are treated as
 126    arguments to the option '\0'.  This behavior is specific to the GNU
 127    `getopt'.  */
