39 This is used for communication to and from the caller
40 and for communication between successive calls to `getopt'.

44 When `getopt' returns EOF, this is the index of the first of the
45 non-option elements that the caller should itself scan.

66 The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
67 of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
70 The field `has_arg' is:
71 no_argument (or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
72 required_argument (or 1) if the option requires an argument,
73 optional_argument (or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
75 If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
76 to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
77 left unchanged if the option is not found.
79 To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
80 a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
81 option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
82 value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
83 one). For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
84 returns the contents of the `val' field. */
