86 The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector

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

133 The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
134 letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
135 takes an argument, to be placed in `optarg'.
137 If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
138 optional. This behavior is specific to the GNU `getopt'.

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