66 As `getopt' works, it permutes the elements of ARGV so that,
67 when it is done, all the options precede everything else. Thus
68 all application programs are extended to handle flexible argument order.

123 If the caller did not specify anything,
124 the default is REQUIRE_ORDER if the environment variable
125 POSIXLY_CORRECT is defined, PERMUTE otherwise.
127 REQUIRE_ORDER means don't recognize them as options;
128 stop option processing when the first non-option is seen.
129 This is what Unix does.
130 This mode of operation is selected by either setting the environment
131 variable POSIXLY_CORRECT, or using `+' as the first character
132 of the list of option characters.
134 PERMUTE is the default. We permute the contents of ARGV as we scan,
135 so that eventually all the non-options are at the end. This allows options
136 to be given in any order, even with programs that were not written to
137 expect this.
139 RETURN_IN_ORDER is an option available to programs that were written
140 to expect options and other ARGV-elements in any order and that care about
141 the ordering of the two. We describe each non-option ARGV-element
142 as if it were the argument of an option with character code 1.
143 Using `-' as the first character of the list of option characters
144 selects this mode of operation.
146 The special argument `--' forces an end of option-scanning regardless
147 of the value of `ordering'. In the case of RETURN_IN_ORDER, only
148 `--' can cause `getopt' to return EOF with `optind' != ARGC. */

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