25 /* Standalone applications should #define __GETOPT_PREFIX to an
26 identifier that prefixes the external functions and variables
27 defined in this header. When this happens, include the
28 headers that might declare getopt so that they will not cause
29 confusion if included after this file. Then systematically rename
30 identifiers so that they do not collide with the system functions
31 and variables. Renaming avoids problems with some compilers and

57 /* Standalone applications get correct prototypes for getopt_long and
58 getopt_long_only; they declare "char **argv". libc uses prototypes
59 with "char *const *argv" that are incorrect because getopt_long and
60 getopt_long_only can permute argv; this is required for backward
61 compatibility (e.g., for LSB 2.0.1).
63 This used to be `#if defined __GETOPT_PREFIX && !defined __need_getopt',
64 but it caused redefinition warnings if both unistd.h and getopt.h were
65 included, since unistd.h includes getopt.h having previously defined
68 The only place where __getopt_argv_const is used is in definitions
69 of getopt_long and getopt_long_only below, but these are visible
70 only if __need_getopt is not defined, so it is quite safe to rewrite
71 the conditional as follows:
73 #if !defined __need_getopt
74 # if defined __GETOPT_PREFIX
75 # define __getopt_argv_const /* empty */
77 # define __getopt_argv_const const
81 /* If __GNU_LIBRARY__ is not already defined, either we are being used
82 standalone, or this is the first header included in the source file.
83 If we are being used with glibc, we need to include <features.h>, but
84 that does not exist if we are standalone. So: if __GNU_LIBRARY__ is
85 not defined, include <ctype.h>, which will pull in <features.h> for us
86 if it's from glibc. (Why ctype.h? It's guaranteed to exist and it
87 doesn't flood the namespace with stuff the way some other headers do.) */

144 The field `has_arg' is:
145 no_argument (or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
146 required_argument (or 1) if the option requires an argument,
147 optional_argument (or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
149 If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
150 to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
151 left unchanged if the option is not found.
153 To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
154 a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
155 option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
156 value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
157 one). For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
158 returns the contents of the `val' field. */

187 The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
188 letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
189 takes an argument, to be placed in `optarg'.
191 If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
192 optional. This behavior is specific to the GNU `getopt'.
194 The argument `--' causes premature termination of argument
195 scanning, explicitly telling `getopt' that there are no more
