     74    The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
     75    of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
     76    zero.
     77 
     78    The field `has_arg' is:
     79    no_argument		(or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
     80    required_argument	(or 1) if the option requires an argument,
     81    optional_argument 	(or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
     82 
     83    If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
     84    to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
     85    left unchanged if the option is not found.
     86 
     87    To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
     88    a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
     89    option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
     90    value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
     91    one).  For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
     92    returns the contents of the `val' field.  */

    119 
    120    Return the option character from OPTS just read.  Return -1 when
    121    there are no more options.  For unrecognized options, or options
    122    missing arguments, `optopt' is set to the option letter, and '?' is
    123    returned.
    124 
    125    The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
    126    letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
    127    takes an argument, to be placed in `optarg'.
    128 
    129    If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
    130    optional.  This behavior is specific to the GNU `getopt'.
    131 
    132    The argument `--' causes premature termination of argument
    133    scanning, explicitly telling `getopt' that there are no more
    134    options.
    135 
    136    If OPTS begins with `--', then non-option arguments are treated as
    137    arguments to the option '\0'.  This behavior is specific to the GNU
