    149    The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
    150    of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
    151    zero.
    152 
    153    The field `has_arg' is:
    154    no_argument		(or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
    155    required_argument	(or 1) if the option requires an argument,
    156    optional_argument	(or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
    157 
    158    If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
    159    to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
    160    left unchanged if the option is not found.
    161 
    162    To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
    163    a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
    164    option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
    165    value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
    166    one).  For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
    167    returns the contents of the `val' field.  */

    191    Return the option character from OPTS just read.  Return -1 when
    192    there are no more options.  For unrecognized options, or options
    193    missing arguments, `optopt' is set to the option letter, and '?' is
    194    returned.
    195 
    196    The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
    197    letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
    198    takes an argument, to be placed in `optarg'.
    199 
    200    If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
    201    optional.  This behavior is specific to the GNU `getopt'.
    202 
    203    The argument `--' causes premature termination of argument
    204    scanning, explicitly telling `getopt' that there are no more
    205    options.
    206 
    207    If OPTS begins with `--', then non-option arguments are treated as
    208    arguments to the option '\0'.  This behavior is specific to the GNU
    209    `getopt'.  */
