  18 /* This program uses the same features as example 2, and uses options and
  19    arguments.
  20
  21    We now use the first four fields in ARGP, so here's a description of them:
  22      OPTIONS  -- A pointer to a vector of struct argp_option (see below)
  23      PARSER   -- A function to parse a single option, called by argp
  24      ARGS_DOC -- A string describing how the non-option arguments should look
  25      DOC      -- A descriptive string about this program; if it contains a
  26                  vertical tab character (\v), the part after it will be
  27                  printed *following* the options
  28
  29    The function PARSER takes the following arguments:
  30      KEY  -- An integer specifying which option this is (taken
  31              from the KEY field in each struct argp_option), or
  32              a special key specifying something else; the only
  33              special keys we use here are ARGP_KEY_ARG, meaning
  34              a non-option argument, and ARGP_KEY_END, meaning
  35              that all arguments have been parsed
  36      ARG  -- For an option KEY, the string value of its
  37              argument, or NULL if it has none
  38      STATE-- A pointer to a struct argp_state, containing
  39              various useful information about the parsing state; used here
  40              are the INPUT field, which reflects the INPUT argument to
  41              argp_parse, and the ARG_NUM field, which is the number of the
  42              current non-option argument being parsed
  43    It should return either 0, meaning success, ARGP_ERR_UNKNOWN, meaning the
  44    given KEY wasn't recognized, or an errno value indicating some other
  45    error.
  46
  47    Note that in this example, main uses a structure to communicate with the
  48    parse_opt function, a pointer to which it passes in the INPUT argument to
  49    argp_parse.  Of course, it's also possible to use global variables
  50    instead, but this is somewhat more flexible.
  51
  52    The OPTIONS field contains a pointer to a vector of struct argp_option's;
  53    that structure has the following fields (if you assign your option
  54    structures using array initialization like this example, unspecified
  55    fields will be defaulted to 0, and need not be specified):
  56      NAME   -- The name of this option's long option (may be zero)
  57      KEY    -- The KEY to pass to the PARSER function when parsing this option,
  58                *and* the name of this option's short option, if it is a
  59                printable ascii character
  60      ARG    -- The name of this option's argument, if any
  61      FLAGS  -- Flags describing this option; some of them are:
  62                  OPTION_ARG_OPTIONAL -- The argument to this option is optional
  63                  OPTION_ALIAS        -- This option is an alias for the
  64                                         previous option
  65                  OPTION_HIDDEN       -- Don't show this option in --help output
  66      DOC    -- A documentation string for this option, shown in --help output
  67
  68    An options vector should be terminated by an option with all fields zero. */
