135 If the caller did not specify anything,
136 the default is REQUIRE_ORDER if the environment variable
137 POSIXLY_CORRECT is defined, PERMUTE otherwise.
139 REQUIRE_ORDER means don't recognize them as options;
140 stop option processing when the first non-option is seen.
141 This is what Unix does.
142 This mode of operation is selected by either setting the environment
143 variable POSIXLY_CORRECT, or using `+' as the first character
144 of the list of option characters.
146 PERMUTE is the default. We permute the contents of ARGV as we scan,
147 so that eventually all the non-options are at the end. This allows options
148 to be given in any order, even with programs that were not written to
149 expect this.
151 RETURN_IN_ORDER is an option available to programs that were written
152 to expect options and other ARGV-elements in any order and that care about
153 the ordering of the two. We describe each non-option ARGV-element
154 as if it were the argument of an option with character code 1.
155 Using `-' as the first character of the list of option characters
156 selects this mode of operation.
158 The special argument `--' forces an end of option-scanning regardless
159 of the value of `ordering'. In the case of RETURN_IN_ORDER, only

325 If an element of ARGV starts with '-', and is not exactly "-" or "--",
326 then it is an option element. The characters of this element
327 (aside from the initial '-') are option characters. If `getopt'
328 is called repeatedly, it returns successively each of the option characters
329 from each of the option elements.
331 If `getopt' finds another option character, it returns that character,
332 updating `optind' and `nextchar' so that the next call to `getopt' can
333 resume the scan with the following option character or ARGV-element.
335 If there are no more option characters, `getopt' returns `EOF'.
336 Then `optind' is the index in ARGV of the first ARGV-element
337 that is not an option. (The ARGV-elements have been permuted
338 so that those that are not options now come last.)
340 OPTSTRING is a string containing the legitimate option characters.
341 If an option character is seen that is not listed in OPTSTRING,
342 return '?' after printing an error message. If you set `opterr' to
343 zero, the error message is suppressed but we still return '?'.
345 If a char in OPTSTRING is followed by a colon, that means it wants an arg,
346 so the following text in the same ARGV-element, or the text of the following
347 ARGV-element, is returned in `optarg'. Two colons mean an option that
348 wants an optional arg; if there is text in the current ARGV-element,
349 it is returned in `optarg', otherwise `optarg' is set to zero.
351 If OPTSTRING starts with `-' or `+', it requests different methods of
352 handling the non-option ARGV-elements.
353 See the comments about RETURN_IN_ORDER and REQUIRE_ORDER, above.
355 Long-named options begin with `--' instead of `-'.
356 Their names may be abbreviated as long as the abbreviation is unique
357 or is an exact match for some defined option. If they have an
358 argument, it follows the option name in the same ARGV-element, separated
359 from the option name by a `=', or else the in next ARGV-element.
360 When `getopt' finds a long-named option, it returns 0 if that option's
361 `flag' field is nonzero, the value of the option's `val' field
362 if the `flag' field is zero.
364 The elements of ARGV aren't really const, because we permute them.
365 But we pretend they're const in the prototype to be compatible
366 with other systems.
368 LONGOPTS is a vector of `struct option' terminated by an
369 element containing a name which is zero.
371 LONGIND returns the index in LONGOPT of the long-named option found.
372 It is only valid when a long-named option has been found by the most
373 recent call.
375 If LONG_ONLY is nonzero, '-' as well as '--' can introduce
376 long-named options. */
