31 typedef int parse_opt_cb(const struct option *, const char *arg, int unset);
34 * `type`::
35 * holds the type of the option, you must have an OPTION_END last in your
36 * array.
38 * `short_name`::
39 * the character to use as a short option name, '\0' if none.
41 * `long_name`::
42 * the long option name, without the leading dashes, NULL if none.
44 * `value`::
45 * stores pointers to the values to be filled.
47 * `argh`::
48 * token to explain the kind of argument this option wants. Keep it
49 * homogenous across the repository.
51 * `help`::
52 * the short help associated to what the option does.
53 * Must never be NULL (except for OPTION_END).
54 * OPTION_GROUP uses this pointer to store the group header.
56 * `flags`::
57 * mask of parse_opt_option_flags.
58 * PARSE_OPT_OPTARG: says that the argument is optionnal (not for BOOLEANs)
59 * PARSE_OPT_NOARG: says that this option takes no argument, for CALLBACKs
60 * PARSE_OPT_NONEG: says that this option cannot be negated
61 * PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN this option is skipped in the default usage, showed in
62 * the long one.
64 * `callback`::
65 * pointer to the callback to use for OPTION_CALLBACK.
67 * `defval`::
68 * default value to fill (*->value) with for PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
69 * OPTION_{BIT,SET_INT,SET_PTR} store the {mask,integer,pointer} to put in
70 * the value when met.
71 * CALLBACKS can use it like they want.
