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

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

362 But we pretend they're const in the prototype to be compatible
365 LONGOPTS is a vector of `struct option' terminated by an
