85    The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
86    of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
87    zero.
88 
89    The field `has_arg' is:
90    no_argument		(or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
91    required_argument	(or 1) if the option requires an argument,
92    optional_argument 	(or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
93 
94    If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
95    to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
96    left unchanged if the option is not found.
97 
98    To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
99    a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
100    option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
101    value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
102    one).  For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
103    returns the contents of the `val' field.  */

126 
127    Return the option character from OPTS just read.  Return -1 when
128    there are no more options.  For unrecognized options, or options
129    missing arguments, `optopt' is set to the option letter, and '?' is
130    returned.
131 
132    The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
133    letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
134    takes an argument, to be placed in `optarg'.
135 
136    If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
137    optional.  This behavior is specific to the GNU `getopt'.
138 
139    The argument `--' causes premature termination of argument
140    scanning, explicitly telling `getopt' that there are no more
141    options.
142 
143    If OPTS begins with `--', then non-option arguments are treated as
144    arguments to the option '\0'.  This behavior is specific to the GNU
145    `getopt'.  */
