72/* Describe the long-named options requested by the application.
73 The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
74 of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
75 zero.
76
77 The field `has_arg' is:
78 no_argument (or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
79 required_argument (or 1) if the option requires an argument,
80 optional_argument (or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
81
82 If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
83 to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
84 left unchanged if the option is not found.
85
86 To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
87 a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
88 option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
89 value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
90 one). For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
91 returns the contents of the `val' field. */

119 Return the option character from OPTS just read. Return -1 when
120 there are no more options. For unrecognized options, or options
121 missing arguments, `optopt' is set to the option letter, and '?' is
122 returned.
123
124 The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
125 letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
126 takes an argument, to be placed in `optarg'.
127
128 If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
129 optional. This behavior is specific to the GNU `getopt'.
130
131 The argument `--' causes premature termination of argument
132 scanning, explicitly telling `getopt' that there are no more
133 options.
134
135 If OPTS begins with `--', then non-option arguments are treated as
136 arguments to the option '\0'. This behavior is specific to the GNU
137 `getopt'. */
