  18 /* This program uses the same features as example 3, but has more
  19    options, and somewhat more structure in the -help output.  It
  20    also shows how you can `steal' the remainder of the input
  21    arguments past a certain point, for programs that accept a
  22    list of items.  It also shows the special argp KEY value
  23    ARGP_KEY_NO_ARGS, which is only given if no non-option
  24    arguments were supplied to the program.
  25
  26    For structuring the help output, two features are used,
  27    *headers* which are entries in the options vector with the
  28    first four fields being zero, and a two part documentation
  29    string (in the variable DOC), which allows documentation both
  30    before and after the options; the two parts of DOC are
  31    separated by a vertical-tab character ('\v', or '\013').  By
  32    convention, the documentation before the options is just a
  33    short string saying what the program does, and that afterwards
  34    is longer, describing the behavior in more detail.  All
  35    documentation strings are automatically filled for output,
  36    although newlines may be included to force a line break at a
  37    particular point.  All documentation strings are also passed to
  38    the `gettext' function, for possible translation into the
  39    current locale.  */
