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