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