54 * `type`::
55 * holds the type of the option, you must have an OPTION_END last in your
56 * array.
58 * `short_name`::
59 * the character to use as a short option name, '\0' if none.
61 * `long_name`::
62 * the long option name, without the leading dashes, NULL if none.
64 * `value`::
65 * stores pointers to the values to be filled.
67 * `argh`::
68 * token to explain the kind of argument this option wants. Keep it
69 * homogeneous across the repository. Should be wrapped by N_() for
70 * translation.
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.
76 * Should be wrapped by N_() for translation.
78 * `flags`::
79 * mask of parse_opt_option_flags.
80 * PARSE_OPT_OPTARG: says that the argument is optional (not for BOOLEANs)
81 * PARSE_OPT_NOARG: says that this option does not take an argument
82 * PARSE_OPT_NONEG: says that this option cannot be negated
83 * PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN: this option is skipped in the default usage, and
84 * shown only in the full usage.
85 * PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT: says that this option will take the default
86 * value if no argument is given when the option
87 * is last on the command line. If the option is
88 * not last it will require an argument.
89 * Should not be used with PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
90 * PARSE_OPT_NODASH: this option doesn't start with a dash.
91 * PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP: says that argh shouldn't be enclosed in brackets
92 * (i.e. '<argh>') in the help message.
93 * Useful for options with multiple parameters.
95 * `callback`::
96 * pointer to the callback to use for OPTION_CALLBACK or
97 * OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK.
99 * `defval`::
100 * default value to fill (*->value) with for PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
101 * OPTION_{BIT,SET_INT,SET_PTR} store the {mask,integer,pointer} to put in
102 * the value when met.
103 * CALLBACKS can use it like they want.
