67 const struct option *opt,
68 const char *arg, int unset);
71 * `type`::
72 * holds the type of the option, you must have an OPTION_END last in your
73 * array.
75 * `short_name`::
76 * the character to use as a short option name, '\0' if none.
78 * `long_name`::
79 * the long option name, without the leading dashes, NULL if none.
81 * `value`::
82 * stores pointers to the values to be filled.
84 * `argh`::
85 * token to explain the kind of argument this option wants. Keep it
86 * homogeneous across the repository. Should be wrapped by N_() for
87 * translation.
89 * `help`::
90 * the short help associated to what the option does.
91 * Must never be NULL (except for OPTION_END).
92 * OPTION_GROUP uses this pointer to store the group header.
93 * Should be wrapped by N_() for translation.
95 * `flags`::
96 * mask of parse_opt_option_flags.
97 * PARSE_OPT_OPTARG: says that the argument is optional (not for BOOLEANs)
98 * PARSE_OPT_NOARG: says that this option does not take an argument
99 * PARSE_OPT_NONEG: says that this option cannot be negated
100 * PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN: this option is skipped in the default usage, and
101 * shown only in the full usage.
102 * PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT: says that this option will take the default
103 * value if no argument is given when the option
104 * is last on the command line. If the option is
105 * not last it will require an argument.
106 * Should not be used with PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
107 * PARSE_OPT_NODASH: this option doesn't start with a dash.
108 * PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP: says that argh shouldn't be enclosed in brackets
109 * (i.e. '<argh>') in the help message.
110 * Useful for options with multiple parameters.
111 * PARSE_OPT_NOCOMPLETE: by default all visible options are completable
112 * by git-completion.bash. This option suppresses that.
113 * PARSE_OPT_COMP_ARG: this option forces to git-completion.bash to
114 * complete an option as --name= not --name even if
115 * the option takes optional argument.
117 * `callback`::
118 * pointer to the callback to use for OPTION_CALLBACK
120 * `defval`::
121 * default value to fill (*->value) with for PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
122 * OPTION_{BIT,SET_INT} store the {mask,integer} to put in the value when met.
123 * CALLBACKS can use it like they want.
125 * `ll_callback`::
126 * pointer to the callback to use for OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK
