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