  61    The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
  62    of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
  63    zero.
  64
  65    The field `has_arg' is:
  66    no_argument          (or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
  67    required_argument    (or 1) if the option requires an argument,
  68    optional_argument    (or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
  69
  70    If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
  71    to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
  72    left unchanged if the option is not found.
  73
  74    To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
  75    a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
  76    option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
  77    value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
  78    one).  For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
  79    returns the contents of the `val' field.  */
