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',

77 __need_getopt.
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:

151 The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
152 of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
153 zero.
155 The field `has_arg' is:
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. */

194 there are no more options. For unrecognized options, or options
195 missing arguments, `optopt' is set to the option letter, and '?' is

198 The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
199 letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
200 takes an argument, to be placed in `optarg'.
202 If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
203 optional. This behavior is specific to the GNU `getopt'.
205 The argument `--' causes premature termination of argument
206 scanning, explicitly telling `getopt' that there are no more
207 options.

210 arguments to the option '\0'. This behavior is specific to the GNU
