138 If the caller did not specify anything,

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

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