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

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