58 /* Standalone applications get correct prototypes for getopt_long and
59 getopt_long_only; they declare "char **argv". libc uses prototypes
60 with "char *const *argv" that are incorrect because getopt_long and
61 getopt_long_only can permute argv; this is required for backward
62 compatibility (e.g., for LSB 2.0.1).
64 This used to be `#if defined __GETOPT_PREFIX && !defined __need_getopt',
65 but it caused redefinition warnings if both unistd.h and getopt.h were
66 included, since unistd.h includes getopt.h having previously defined
67 __need_getopt.
69 The only place where __getopt_argv_const is used is in definitions
70 of getopt_long and getopt_long_only below, but these are visible
71 only if __need_getopt is not defined, so it is quite safe to rewrite
72 the conditional as follows:
74 #if !defined __need_getopt
75 # if defined __GETOPT_PREFIX

86 not defined, include <ctype.h>, which will pull in <features.h> for us

141 The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
142 of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
143 zero.
145 The field `has_arg' is:
146 no_argument (or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
147 required_argument (or 1) if the option requires an argument,
148 optional_argument (or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
150 If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
151 to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
152 left unchanged if the option is not found.
154 To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
155 a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
156 option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
157 value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
158 one). For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
159 returns the contents of the `val' field. */

184 there are no more options. For unrecognized options, or options
185 missing arguments, `optopt' is set to the option letter, and '?' is
186 returned.
188 The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
189 letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
190 takes an argument, to be placed in `optarg'.
192 If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
193 optional. This behavior is specific to the GNU `getopt'.
195 The argument `--' causes premature termination of argument
196 scanning, explicitly telling `getopt' that there are no more
197 options.
199 If OPTS begins with `-', then non-option arguments are treated as
200 arguments to the option '\1'. This behavior is specific to the GNU
201 `getopt'. If OPTS begins with `+', or POSIXLY_CORRECT is set in
202 the environment, then do not permute arguments. */
