59 /* This implementation of 'getopt' has three modes for handling
60 options interspersed with non-option arguments. It can stop
61 scanning for options at the first non-option argument encountered,
62 as POSIX specifies. It can continue scanning for options after the
63 first non-option argument, but permute 'argv' as it goes so that,
64 after 'getopt' is done, all the options precede all the non-option
65 arguments and 'optind' points to the first non-option argument.
66 Or, it can report non-option arguments as if they were arguments to
67 the option character '\x01'.
69 The default behavior of 'getopt_long' is to permute the argument list.
70 When this implementation is used standalone, the default behavior of
71 'getopt' is to stop at the first non-option argument, but when it is
72 used as part of GNU libc it also permutes the argument list. In both
73 cases, setting the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT to any value
74 disables permutation.
76 If the first character of the OPTSTRING argument to 'getopt' or
77 'getopt_long' is '+', both functions will stop at the first
78 non-option argument. If it is '-', both functions will report
79 non-option arguments as arguments to the option character '\x01'. */

415 given in OPTSTRING.
417 If an element of ARGV starts with '-', and is not exactly "-" or "--",
418 then it is an option element. The characters of this element
419 (aside from the initial '-') are option characters. If 'getopt'
420 is called repeatedly, it returns successively each of the option characters
421 from each of the option elements.
423 If 'getopt' finds another option character, it returns that character,
424 updating 'optind' and 'nextchar' so that the next call to 'getopt' can
425 resume the scan with the following option character or ARGV-element.
427 If there are no more option characters, 'getopt' returns -1.
428 Then 'optind' is the index in ARGV of the first ARGV-element
429 that is not an option. (The ARGV-elements have been permuted
430 so that those that are not options now come last.)
432 OPTSTRING is a string containing the legitimate option characters.
433 If an option character is seen that is not listed in OPTSTRING,
434 return '?' after printing an error message. If you set 'opterr' to
435 zero, the error message is suppressed but we still return '?'.
437 If a char in OPTSTRING is followed by a colon, that means it wants an arg,
438 so the following text in the same ARGV-element, or the text of the following
439 ARGV-element, is returned in 'optarg'. Two colons mean an option that
440 wants an optional arg; if there is text in the current ARGV-element,
441 it is returned in 'optarg', otherwise 'optarg' is set to zero.
443 If OPTSTRING starts with '-' or '+', it requests different methods of
444 handling the non-option ARGV-elements.
445 See the comments about RETURN_IN_ORDER and REQUIRE_ORDER, above.
447 Long-named options begin with '--' instead of '-'.
448 Their names may be abbreviated as long as the abbreviation is unique
449 or is an exact match for some defined option. If they have an
450 argument, it follows the option name in the same ARGV-element, separated
451 from the option name by a '=', or else the in next ARGV-element.
452 When 'getopt' finds a long-named option, it returns 0 if that option's
453 'flag' field is nonzero, the value of the option's 'val' field
454 if the 'flag' field is zero.
456 The elements of ARGV aren't really const, because we permute them.
457 But we pretend they're const in the prototype to be compatible
458 with other systems.
460 LONGOPTS is a vector of 'struct option' terminated by an
461 element containing a name which is zero.
463 LONGIND returns the index in LONGOPT of the long-named option found.
464 It is only valid when a long-named option has been found by the most
465 recent call.
467 If LONG_ONLY is nonzero, '-' as well as '--' can introduce
468 long-named options. */
