51 * `type`::
52 * holds the type of the option, you must have an OPTION_END last in your
53 * array.
55 * `short_name`::
56 * the character to use as a short option name, '\0' if none.
58 * `long_name`::
59 * the long option name, without the leading dashes, NULL if none.
61 * `value`::
62 * stores pointers to the values to be filled.
64 * `argh`::
65 * token to explain the kind of argument this option wants. Keep it
66 * homogeneous across the repository. Should be wrapped by N_() for
67 * translation.
69 * `help`::
70 * the short help associated to what the option does.
71 * Must never be NULL (except for OPTION_END).
72 * OPTION_GROUP uses this pointer to store the group header.
73 * Should be wrapped by N_() for translation.
75 * `flags`::
76 * mask of parse_opt_option_flags.
77 * PARSE_OPT_OPTARG: says that the argument is optional (not for BOOLEANs)
78 * PARSE_OPT_NOARG: says that this option does not take an argument
79 * PARSE_OPT_NONEG: says that this option cannot be negated
80 * PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN: this option is skipped in the default usage, and
81 * shown only in the full usage.
82 * PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT: says that this option will take the default
83 * value if no argument is given when the option
84 * is last on the command line. If the option is
85 * not last it will require an argument.
86 * Should not be used with PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
87 * PARSE_OPT_NODASH: this option doesn't start with a dash.
88 * PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP: says that argh shouldn't be enclosed in brackets
89 * (i.e. '<argh>') in the help message.
90 * Useful for options with multiple parameters.
92 * `callback`::
93 * pointer to the callback to use for OPTION_CALLBACK or
94 * OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK.
96 * `defval`::
97 * default value to fill (*->value) with for PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
98 * OPTION_{BIT,SET_INT} store the {mask,integer,pointer} to put in
99 * the value when met.
100 * CALLBACKS can use it like they want.
