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

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