+ * @Short_description: parses commandline options
+ * @Title: Commandline option parser
+ *
+ * The GOption commandline parser is intended to be a simpler replacement for the
+ * popt library. It supports short and long commandline options, as shown in the
+ * following example:
+ *
+ * <literal>testtreemodel -r 1 --max-size 20 --rand --display=:1.0 -vb -- file1 file2</literal>
+ *
+ * The example demonstrates a number of features of the GOption commandline parser
+ * <itemizedlist><listitem><para>
+ * Options can be single letters, prefixed by a single dash. Multiple
+ * short options can be grouped behind a single dash.
+ * </para></listitem><listitem><para>
+ * Long options are prefixed by two consecutive dashes.
+ * </para></listitem><listitem><para>
+ * Options can have an extra argument, which can be a number, a string or a
+ * filename. For long options, the extra argument can be appended with an
+ * equals sign after the option name.
+ * </para></listitem><listitem><para>
+ * Non-option arguments are returned to the application as rest arguments.
+ * </para></listitem><listitem><para>
+ * An argument consisting solely of two dashes turns off further parsing,
+ * any remaining arguments (even those starting with a dash) are returned
+ * to the application as rest arguments.
+ * </para></listitem></itemizedlist>
+ *
+ * Another important feature of GOption is that it can automatically generate
+ * nicely formatted help output. Unless it is explicitly turned off with
+ * g_option_context_set_help_enabled(), GOption will recognize the
+ * <option>--help</option>, <option>-?</option>, <option>--help-all</option>
+ * and <option>--help-</option><replaceable>groupname</replaceable> options
+ * (where <replaceable>groupname</replaceable> is the name of a #GOptionGroup)
+ * and write a text similar to the one shown in the following example to stdout.
+ *
+ * <informalexample><screen>
+ * Usage:
+ * testtreemodel [OPTION...] - test tree model performance
+ *
+ * Help Options:
+ * -h, --help Show help options
+ * --help-all Show all help options
+ * --help-gtk Show GTK+ Options
+ *
+ * Application Options:
+ * -r, --repeats=N Average over N repetitions
+ * -m, --max-size=M Test up to 2^M items
+ * --display=DISPLAY X display to use
+ * -v, --verbose Be verbose
+ * -b, --beep Beep when done
+ * --rand Randomize the data
+ * </screen></informalexample>
+ *
+ * GOption groups options in #GOptionGroup<!-- -->s, which makes it easy to
+ * incorporate options from multiple sources. The intended use for this is
+ * to let applications collect option groups from the libraries it uses,
+ * add them to their #GOptionContext, and parse all options by a single call
+ * to g_option_context_parse(). See gtk_get_option_group() for an example.
+ *
+ * If an option is declared to be of type string or filename, GOption takes
+ * care of converting it to the right encoding; strings are returned in UTF-8,
+ * filenames are returned in the GLib filename encoding. Note that this only
+ * works if setlocale() has been called before g_option_context_parse().
+ *
+ * Here is a complete example of setting up GOption to parse the example
+ * commandline above and produce the example help output.
+ *
+ * <informalexample><programlisting>
+ * static gint repeats = 2;
+ * static gint max_size = 8;
+ * static gboolean verbose = FALSE;
+ * static gboolean beep = FALSE;
+ * static gboolean rand = FALSE;
+ *
+ * static GOptionEntry entries[] =
+ * {
+ * { "repeats", 'r', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_INT, &repeats, "Average over N repetitions", "N" },
+ * { "max-size", 'm', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_INT, &max_size, "Test up to 2^M items", "M" },
+ * { "verbose", 'v', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, &verbose, "Be verbose", NULL },
+ * { "beep", 'b', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, &beep, "Beep when done", NULL },
+ * { "rand", 0, 0, G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, &rand, "Randomize the data", NULL },
+ * { NULL }
+ * };
+ *
+ * int
+ * main (int argc, char *argv[])
+ * {
+ * GError *error = NULL;
+ * GOptionContext *context;
+ *
+ * context = g_option_context_new ("- test tree model performance");
+ * g_option_context_add_main_entries (context, entries, GETTEXT_PACKAGE);
+ * g_option_context_add_group (context, gtk_get_option_group (TRUE));
+ * if (!g_option_context_parse (context, &argc, &argv, &error))
+ * {
+ * g_print ("option parsing failed: %s\n", error->message);
+ * exit (1);
+ * }
+ *
+ * // ...
