64 The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
65 of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
66 zero.
67
68 The field `has_arg' is:
69 no_argument (or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
70 required_argument (or 1) if the option requires an argument,
71 optional_argument (or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
72
73 If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
74 to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
75 left unchanged if the option is not found.
76
77 To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
78 a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
79 option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
80 value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
81 one). For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
82 returns the contents of the `val' field. */
