43 This is used for communication to and from the caller
44 and for communication between successive calls to `getopt'.
46 On entry to `getopt', zero means this is the first call; initialize.
48 When `getopt' returns -1, this is the index of the first of the
49 non-option elements that the caller should itself scan.
51 Otherwise, `optind' communicates from one call to the next

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

114 there are no more options. For unrecognized options, or options
115 missing arguments, `optopt' is set to the option letter, and '?' is
118 The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
119 letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter

122 If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is

126 scanning, explicitly telling `getopt' that there are no more
