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