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

355 given in OPTSTRING.
357 If an element of ARGV starts with '-', and is not exactly "-" or "--",
358 then it is an option element. The characters of this element
359 (aside from the initial '-') are option characters. If `getopt'
360 is called repeatedly, it returns successively each of the option characters
361 from each of the option elements.
363 If `getopt' finds another option character, it returns that character,
364 updating `optind' and `nextchar' so that the next call to `getopt' can
365 resume the scan with the following option character or ARGV-element.
367 If there are no more option characters, `getopt' returns `EOF'.
368 Then `optind' is the index in ARGV of the first ARGV-element
369 that is not an option. (The ARGV-elements have been permuted
370 so that those that are not options now come last.)
372 OPTSTRING is a string containing the legitimate option characters.
373 If an option character is seen that is not listed in OPTSTRING,
374 return '?' after printing an error message. If you set `opterr' to
375 zero, the error message is suppressed but we still return '?'.
377 If a char in OPTSTRING is followed by a colon, that means it wants an arg,
378 so the following text in the same ARGV-element, or the text of the following
379 ARGV-element, is returned in `optarg'. Two colons mean an option that
380 wants an optional arg; if there is text in the current ARGV-element,
381 it is returned in `optarg', otherwise `optarg' is set to zero.
383 If OPTSTRING starts with `-' or `+', it requests different methods of
384 handling the non-option ARGV-elements.
385 See the comments about RETURN_IN_ORDER and REQUIRE_ORDER, above.
387 Long-named options begin with `--' instead of `-'.
388 Their names may be abbreviated as long as the abbreviation is unique
389 or is an exact match for some defined option. If they have an
390 argument, it follows the option name in the same ARGV-element, separated
391 from the option name by a `=', or else the in next ARGV-element.
392 When `getopt' finds a long-named option, it returns 0 if that option's
393 `flag' field is nonzero, the value of the option's `val' field
394 if the `flag' field is zero.
396 The elements of ARGV aren't really const, because we permute them.
397 But we pretend they're const in the prototype to be compatible
398 with other systems.
400 LONGOPTS is a vector of `struct option' terminated by an
401 element containing a name which is zero.
403 LONGIND returns the index in LONGOPT of the long-named option found.
404 It is only valid when a long-named option has been found by the most
405 recent call.
407 If LONG_ONLY is nonzero, '-' as well as '--' can introduce
