127 If the caller did not specify anything,

131 REQUIRE_ORDER means don't recognize them as options;
132 stop option processing when the first non-option is seen.
133 This is what Unix does.
134 This mode of operation is selected by either setting the environment
135 variable POSIXLY_CORRECT, or using `+' as the first character
136 of the list of option characters.
138 PERMUTE is the default. We permute the contents of ARGV as we scan,
139 so that eventually all the non-options are at the end. This allows options
140 to be given in any order, even with programs that were not written to
143 RETURN_IN_ORDER is an option available to programs that were written
144 to expect options and other ARGV-elements in any order and that care about
145 the ordering of the two. We describe each non-option ARGV-element
146 as if it were the argument of an option with character code 1.
147 Using `-' as the first character of the list of option characters
148 selects this mode of operation.
150 The special argument `--' forces an end of option-scanning regardless
151 of the value of `ordering'. In the case of RETURN_IN_ORDER, only
152 `--' can cause `getopt' to return EOF with `optind' != ARGC. */

318 If an element of ARGV starts with '-', and is not exactly "-" or "--",
319 then it is an option element. The characters of this element
320 (aside from the initial '-') are option characters. If `getopt'
321 is called repeatedly, it returns successively each of the option characters
322 from each of the option elements.
324 If `getopt' finds another option character, it returns that character,
325 updating `optind' and `nextchar' so that the next call to `getopt' can
326 resume the scan with the following option character or ARGV-element.
328 If there are no more option characters, `getopt' returns `EOF'.
329 Then `optind' is the index in ARGV of the first ARGV-element
330 that is not an option. (The ARGV-elements have been permuted
331 so that those that are not options now come last.)
333 OPTSTRING is a string containing the legitimate option characters.
334 If an option character is seen that is not listed in OPTSTRING,
335 return '?' after printing an error message. If you set `opterr' to
336 zero, the error message is suppressed but we still return '?'.
338 If a char in OPTSTRING is followed by a colon, that means it wants an arg,
339 so the following text in the same ARGV-element, or the text of the following
340 ARGV-element, is returned in `optarg'. Two colons mean an option that
341 wants an optional arg; if there is text in the current ARGV-element,
342 it is returned in `optarg', otherwise `optarg' is set to zero.
344 If OPTSTRING starts with `-' or `+', it requests different methods of
345 handling the non-option ARGV-elements.
346 See the comments about RETURN_IN_ORDER and REQUIRE_ORDER, above.
348 Long-named options begin with `--' instead of `-'.
349 Their names may be abbreviated as long as the abbreviation is unique
350 or is an exact match for some defined option. If they have an
351 argument, it follows the option name in the same ARGV-element, separated
352 from the option name by a `=', or else the in next ARGV-element.
353 When `getopt' finds a long-named option, it returns 0 if that option's
354 `flag' field is nonzero, the value of the option's `val' field
355 if the `flag' field is zero.
357 The elements of ARGV aren't really const, because we permute them.
358 But we pretend they're const in the prototype to be compatible
361 LONGOPTS is a vector of `struct option' terminated by an
362 element containing a name which is zero.
