  85 /* Describe the long-named options requested by the application.
  86    The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
  87    of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
  88    zero.
  89
  90    The field `has_arg' is:
  91    no_argument          (or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
  92    required_argument    (or 1) if the option requires an argument,
  93    optional_argument    (or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
  94
  95    If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
  96    to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
  97    left unchanged if the option is not found.
  98
  99    To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
 100    a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
 101    option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
 102    value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
 103    one).  For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
 104    returns the contents of the `val' field.  */

 127
 128    Return the option character from OPTS just read.  Return -1 when
 129    there are no more options.  For unrecognized options, or options
 130    missing arguments, `optopt' is set to the option letter, and '?' is
 131    returned.
 132
 133    The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
 134    letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
 135    takes an argument, to be placed in `optarg'.
 136
 137    If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
 138    optional.  This behavior is specific to the GNU `getopt'.
 139
 140    The argument `--' causes premature termination of argument
 141    scanning, explicitly telling `getopt' that there are no more
 142    options.
 143
 144    If OPTS begins with `--', then non-option arguments are treated as
 145    arguments to the option '\0'.  This behavior is specific to the GNU
 146    `getopt'.  */
