27 identifier that prefixes the external functions and variables

29 headers that might declare getopt so that they will not cause
30 confusion if included after this file. Then systematically rename
31 identifiers so that they do not collide with the system functions

120 no_argument (or 0) if the option does not take an argument,

124 If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
125 to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
126 left unchanged if the option is not found.
128 To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
129 a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
130 option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
131 value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
132 one). For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
133 returns the contents of the `val' field. */
