28 /* Standalone applications should #define __GETOPT_PREFIX to an
29 identifier that prefixes the external functions and variables
30 defined in this header. When this happens, include the
31 headers that might declare getopt so that they will not cause
32 confusion if included after this file. Then systematically rename
33 identifiers so that they do not collide with the system functions
34 and variables. Renaming avoids problems with some compilers and

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

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