35 identifier that prefixes the external functions and variables
36 defined in this header. When this happens, include the
37 headers that might declare getopt so that they will not cause
38 confusion if included after this file. Then systematically rename
39 identifiers so that they do not collide with the system functions

68 /* Standalone applications get correct prototypes for getopt_long and
69 getopt_long_only; they declare "char **argv". libc uses prototypes
70 with "char *const *argv" that are incorrect because getopt_long and
71 getopt_long_only can permute argv; this is required for backward
72 compatibility (e.g., for LSB 2.0.1).
74 This used to be `#if defined __GETOPT_PREFIX && !defined __need_getopt',
75 but it caused redefinition warnings if both unistd.h and getopt.h were
76 included, since unistd.h includes getopt.h having previously defined
79 The only place where __getopt_argv_const is used is in definitions
80 of getopt_long and getopt_long_only below, but these are visible
81 only if __need_getopt is not defined, so it is quite safe to rewrite
82 the conditional as follows:
84 #if !defined __need_getopt
85 # if defined __GETOPT_PREFIX
86 # define __getopt_argv_const /* empty */
88 # define __getopt_argv_const const
92 /* If __GNU_LIBRARY__ is not already defined, either we are being used
93 standalone, or this is the first header included in the source file.
94 If we are being used with glibc, we need to include <features.h>, but
95 that does not exist if we are standalone. So: if __GNU_LIBRARY__ is
96 not defined, include <ctype.h>, which will pull in <features.h> for us
97 if it's from glibc. (Why ctype.h? It's guaranteed to exist and it
98 doesn't flood the namespace with stuff the way some other headers do.) */

156 no_argument (or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
157 required_argument (or 1) if the option requires an argument,
158 optional_argument (or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
160 If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
161 to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
162 left unchanged if the option is not found.
164 To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
165 a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
166 option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
167 value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
168 one). For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
169 returns the contents of the `val' field. */
