50/**
51 * getopt() - Parse short command-line options
52 * @gs: Internal state and out-of-band return arguments. This must be
53 * initialized with getopt_init_context() beforehand.
54 * @argc: Number of arguments, not including the %NULL terminator
55 * @argv: Argument list, terminated by %NULL
56 * @optstring: Option specification, as described below
57 *
58 * getopt() parses short options. Short options are single characters. They may
59 * be followed by a required argument or an optional argument. Arguments to
60 * options may occur in the same argument as an option (like ``-larg``), or
61 * in the following argument (like ``-l arg``). An argument containing
62 * options begins with a ``-``. If an option expects no arguments, then it may
63 * be immediately followed by another option (like ``ls -alR``).
64 *
65 * @optstring is a list of accepted options. If an option is followed by ``:``
66 * in @optstring, then it expects a mandatory argument. If an option is followed
67 * by ``::`` in @optstring, it expects an optional argument. @gs.arg points
68 * to the argument, if one is parsed.
69 *
70 * getopt() stops parsing options when it encounters the first non-option
71 * argument, when it encounters the argument ``--``, or when it runs out of
72 * arguments. For example, in ``ls -l foo -R``, option parsing will stop when
73 * getopt() encounters ``foo``, if ``l`` does not expect an argument. However,
74 * the whole list of arguments would be parsed if ``l`` expects an argument.
75 *
76 * An example invocation of getopt() might look like::
77 *
78 * char *argv[] = { "program", "-cbx", "-a", "foo", "bar", 0 };
79 * int opt, argc = ARRAY_SIZE(argv) - 1;
80 * struct getopt_state gs;
81 *
82 * getopt_init_state(&gs);
83 * while ((opt = getopt(&gs, argc, argv, "a::b:c")) != -1)
84 * printf("opt = %c, index = %d, arg = \"%s\"\n", opt, gs.index, gs.arg);
85 * printf("%d argument(s) left\n", argc - gs.index);
86 *
87 * and would produce an output of::
88 *
89 * opt = c, index = 1, arg = "<NULL>"
90 * opt = b, index = 2, arg = "x"
91 * opt = a, index = 4, arg = "foo"
92 * 1 argument(s) left
93 *
94 * For further information, refer to the getopt(3) man page.
95 *
96 * Return:
97 * * An option character if an option is found. @gs.arg is set to the
98 * argument if there is one, otherwise it is set to ``NULL``.
99 * * ``-1`` if there are no more options, if a non-option argument is
100 * encountered, or if an ``--`` argument is encountered.
101 * * ``'?'`` if we encounter an option not in @optstring. @gs.opt is set to
102 * the unknown option.
103 * * ``':'`` if an argument is required, but no argument follows the
104 * option. @gs.opt is set to the option missing its argument.
105 *
106 * @gs.index is always set to the index of the next unparsed argument in @argv.
