62 The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
63 of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
64 zero.
65
66 The field `has_arg' is:
67 no_argument (or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
68 required_argument (or 1) if the option requires an argument,
69 optional_argument (or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
70
71 If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
72 to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
73 left unchanged if the option is not found.
74
75 To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
76 a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
77 option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
78 value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
79 one). For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
80 returns the contents of the `val' field. */

103 Return the option character from OPTS just read. Return -1 when
104 there are no more options. For unrecognized options, or options
105 missing arguments, `optopt' is set to the option letter, and '?' is
106 returned.
107
108 The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
109 letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
110 takes an argument, to be placed in `optarg'.
111
112 If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
113 optional. This behavior is specific to the GNU `getopt'.
114
115 The argument `--' causes premature termination of argument
116 scanning, explicitly telling `getopt' that there are no more
117 options.
118
119 If OPTS begins with `--', then non-option arguments are treated as
120 arguments to the option '\0'. This behavior is specific to the GNU
121 `getopt'. */
