70 options interspersed with non-option arguments. It can stop
71 scanning for options at the first non-option argument encountered,
72 as POSIX specifies. It can continue scanning for options after the
73 first non-option argument, but permute 'argv' as it goes so that,
74 after 'getopt' is done, all the options precede all the non-option
75 arguments and 'optind' points to the first non-option argument.
76 Or, it can report non-option arguments as if they were arguments to
77 the option character '\x01'.
79 The default behavior of 'getopt_long' is to permute the argument list.
80 When this implementation is used standalone, the default behavior of
81 'getopt' is to stop at the first non-option argument, but when it is
82 used as part of GNU libc it also permutes the argument list. In both
83 cases, setting the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT to any value
86 If the first character of the OPTSTRING argument to 'getopt' or
87 'getopt_long' is '+', both functions will stop at the first

426 /* Scan elements of ARGV (whose length is ARGC) for option characters
429 If an element of ARGV starts with '-', and is not exactly "-" or "--",
430 then it is an option element. The characters of this element
431 (aside from the initial '-') are option characters. If 'getopt'
432 is called repeatedly, it returns successively each of the option characters
433 from each of the option elements.
435 If 'getopt' finds another option character, it returns that character,
436 updating 'optind' and 'nextchar' so that the next call to 'getopt' can
437 resume the scan with the following option character or ARGV-element.
439 If there are no more option characters, 'getopt' returns -1.
440 Then 'optind' is the index in ARGV of the first ARGV-element
441 that is not an option. (The ARGV-elements have been permuted
442 so that those that are not options now come last.)
444 OPTSTRING is a string containing the legitimate option characters.
445 If an option character is seen that is not listed in OPTSTRING,
446 return '?' after printing an error message. If you set 'opterr' to
447 zero, the error message is suppressed but we still return '?'.
449 If a char in OPTSTRING is followed by a colon, that means it wants an arg,
450 so the following text in the same ARGV-element, or the text of the following
451 ARGV-element, is returned in 'optarg'. Two colons mean an option that
452 wants an optional arg; if there is text in the current ARGV-element,
453 it is returned in 'optarg', otherwise 'optarg' is set to zero.
455 If OPTSTRING starts with '-' or '+', it requests different methods of
456 handling the non-option ARGV-elements.
457 See the comments about RETURN_IN_ORDER and REQUIRE_ORDER, above.
459 Long-named options begin with '--' instead of '-'.
460 Their names may be abbreviated as long as the abbreviation is unique
461 or is an exact match for some defined option. If they have an
462 argument, it follows the option name in the same ARGV-element, separated
463 from the option name by a '=', or else the in next ARGV-element.
464 When 'getopt' finds a long-named option, it returns 0 if that option's
465 'flag' field is nonzero, the value of the option's 'val' field
466 if the 'flag' field is zero.
468 The elements of ARGV aren't really const, because we permute them.
469 But we pretend they're const in the prototype to be compatible
472 LONGOPTS is a vector of 'struct option' terminated by an
473 element containing a name which is zero.
475 LONGIND returns the index in LONGOPT of the long-named option found.
476 It is only valid when a long-named option has been found by the most
479 If LONG_ONLY is nonzero, '-' as well as '--' can introduce
480 long-named options. */
