39 headers that might declare getopt so that they will not cause
40 confusion if included after this file (if the system had <getopt.h>,
41 we have already included it). Then systematically rename
42 identifiers so that they do not collide with the system functions

74 /* Standalone applications get correct prototypes for getopt_long and
75 getopt_long_only; they declare "char **argv". libc uses prototypes
76 with "char *const *argv" that are incorrect because getopt_long and
77 getopt_long_only can permute argv; this is required for backward
78 compatibility (e.g., for LSB 2.0.1).
80 This used to be `#if defined __GETOPT_PREFIX && !defined __need_getopt',
81 but it caused redefinition warnings if both unistd.h and getopt.h were
82 included, since unistd.h includes getopt.h having previously defined
85 The only place where __getopt_argv_const is used is in definitions
86 of getopt_long and getopt_long_only below, but these are visible
87 only if __need_getopt is not defined, so it is quite safe to rewrite
88 the conditional as follows:
90 #if !defined __need_getopt
91 # if defined __GETOPT_PREFIX
92 # define __getopt_argv_const /* empty */
94 # define __getopt_argv_const const

99 standalone, or this is the first header included in the source file.
100 If we are being used with glibc, we need to include <features.h>, but
101 that does not exist if we are standalone. So: if __GNU_LIBRARY__ is
102 not defined, include <ctype.h>, which will pull in <features.h> for us
103 if it's from glibc. (Why ctype.h? It's guaranteed to exist and it
104 doesn't flood the namespace with stuff the way some other headers do.) */

163 required_argument (or 1) if the option requires an argument,

166 If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
167 to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
168 left unchanged if the option is not found.
170 To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
171 a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
172 option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
173 value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
174 one). For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
175 returns the contents of the `val' field. */
