43 typedef int parse_opt_cb(const struct option *, const char *arg, int unset);
46 * `type`::
47 * holds the type of the option, you must have an OPTION_END last in your
48 * array.
50 * `short_name`::
51 * the character to use as a short option name, '\0' if none.
53 * `long_name`::
54 * the long option name, without the leading dashes, NULL if none.
56 * `value`::
57 * stores pointers to the values to be filled.
59 * `argh`::
60 * token to explain the kind of argument this option wants. Keep it
61 * homogeneous across the repository.
63 * `help`::
64 * the short help associated to what the option does.
65 * Must never be NULL (except for OPTION_END).
66 * OPTION_GROUP uses this pointer to store the group header.
68 * `flags`::
69 * mask of parse_opt_option_flags.
70 * PARSE_OPT_OPTARG: says that the argument is optional (not for BOOLEANs)
71 * PARSE_OPT_NOARG: says that this option takes no argument
72 * PARSE_OPT_NONEG: says that this option cannot be negated
73 * PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN: this option is skipped in the default usage, and
74 * shown only in the full usage.
75 * PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT: says that this option will take the default
76 * value if no argument is given when the option
77 * is last on the command line. If the option is
78 * not last it will require an argument.
79 * Should not be used with PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
80 * PARSE_OPT_NODASH: this option doesn't start with a dash.
81 * PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP: says that argh shouldn't be enclosed in brackets
82 * (i.e. '<argh>') in the help message.
83 * Useful for options with multiple parameters.
84 * PARSE_OPT_NEGHELP: says that the long option should always be shown with
85 * the --no prefix in the usage message. Sometimes
86 * useful for users of OPTION_NEGBIT.
88 * `callback`::
89 * pointer to the callback to use for OPTION_CALLBACK.
91 * `defval`::
92 * default value to fill (*->value) with for PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
93 * OPTION_{BIT,SET_INT,SET_PTR} store the {mask,integer,pointer} to put in
94 * the value when met.
95 * CALLBACKS can use it like they want.
