223 * Use: Reads options. The routine should be more-or-less compatible

225 * features even than the standard GNU implementation.
227 * The precise manner of options parsing is determined by
228 * various flag settings, which are described below. By setting
229 * flag values appropriately, you can achieve behaviour very
230 * similar to most other getopt routines.
233 * How options parsing appears to users
235 * A command line consists of a number of `words' (which may
236 * contain spaces, according to various shell quoting
237 * conventions). A word may be an option, an argument to an
238 * option, or a non-option. An option begins with a special
239 * character, usually `%|-|%', although `%|+|%' is also used
240 * sometimes. As special exceptions, the word containing only a
241 * `%|-|%' is considered to be a non-option, since it usually
242 * represents standard input or output as a filename, and the
243 * word containing a double-dash `%|--|%' is used to mark all
244 * following words as being non-options regardless of their
247 * Traditionally, all words after the first non-option have been
248 * considered to be non-options automatically, so that options
249 * must be specified before filenames. However, this
250 * implementation can extract all the options from the command
251 * line regardless of their position. This can usually be
252 * disabled by setting one of the environment variables
253 * `%|POSIXLY_CORRECT|%' or `%|_POSIX_OPTION_ORDER|%'.
255 * There are two different styles of options: `short' and
258 * Short options are the sort which Unix has known for ages: an
259 * option is a single letter, preceded by a `%|-|%'. Short
260 * options can be joined together to save space (and possibly to
261 * make silly words): e.g., instead of giving options
262 * `%|-x -y|%', a user could write `%|-xy|%'. Some short
263 * options can have arguments, which appear after the option
264 * letter, either immediately following, or in the next `word'
265 * (so an option with an argument could be written as
266 * `%|-o foo|%' or as `%|-ofoo|%'). Note that options with
267 * optional arguments must be written in the second style.
269 * When a short option controls a flag setting, it is sometimes
270 * possible to explicitly turn the flag off, as well as turning
271 * it on, (usually to override default options). This is
272 * usually done by using a `%|+|%' instead of a `%|-|%' to
273 * introduce the option.
275 * Long options, as popularized by the GNU utilities, are given
276 * long-ish memorable names, preceded by a double-dash `%|--|%'.
277 * Since their names are more than a single character, long
278 * options can't be combined in the same way as short options.
279 * Arguments to long options may be given either in the same
280 * `word', separated from the option name by an equals sign, or
281 * in the following `word'.
283 * Long option names can be abbreviated if necessary, as long
284 * as the abbreviation is unique. This means that options can
285 * have sensible and memorable names but still not require much
286 * typing from an experienced user.
288 * Like short options, long options can control flag settings.
289 * The options to manipulate these settings come in pairs: an
290 * option of the form `%|--set-flag|%' might set the flag, while
291 * an option of the form `%|--no-set-flag|%' might clear it.
293 * It is usual for applications to provide both short and long
294 * options with identical behaviour. Some applications with
295 * lots of options may only provide long options (although they
296 * will often be only two or three characters long). In this
297 * case, long options can be preceded with a single `%|-|%'
298 * character, and negated by a `%|+|%' character.
300 * Finally, some (older) programs accept arguments of the form
301 * `%%@.{"-"<number>}%%', to set some numerical parameter,
302 * typically a line count of some kind.
305 * How programs parse options
307 * An application parses its options by calling mdwopt
308 * repeatedly. Each time it is called, mdwopt returns a value
309 * describing the option just read, and stores information about
310 * the option in a data block. The value %$-1$% is returned
311 * when there are no more options to be read. The `%|?|%'
312 * character is returned when an error is encountered.
314 * Before starting to parse options, the value @data->ind@ must
315 * be set to 0 or 1. The value of @data->err@ can also be set,
316 * to choose whether errors are reported by mdwopt.
318 * The program's `@argc@' and `@argv@' arguments are passed to
319 * the options parser, so that it can read the command line. A
320 * flags word is also passed, allowing the program fine control
321 * over parsing. The flags are described above.
323 * Short options are described by a string, which once upon a
324 * time just contained the permitted option characters. Now the
325 * options string begins with a collection of flag characters,
326 * and various flag characters can be put after options
327 * characters to change their properties.
329 * If the first character of the short options string is
330 * `%|+|%', `%|-|%' or `%|!|%', the order in which options are
331 * read is modified, as follows:
333 * `%|+|%' forces the POSIX order to be used. As soon as a non-
334 * option is found, mdwopt returns %$-1$%.
336 * `%|-|%' makes mdwopt treat non-options as being `special'
337 * sorts of option. When a non-option word is found, the
338 * value 0 is returned, and the actual text of the word
339 * is stored as being the option's argument.
341 * `%|!|%' forces the default order to be used. The entire
342 * command line is scanned for options, which are
343 * returned in order. However, during this process,
344 * the options are moved in the @argv@ array, so that
345 * they appear before the non- options.
347 * A `%|:|%' character may be placed after the ordering flag (or
348 * at the very beginning if no ordering flag is given) which
349 * indicates that the character `%|:|%', rather than `%|?|%',
350 * should be returned if a missing argument error is detected.
352 * Each option in the string can be followed by a `%|+|%' sign,
353 * indicating that it can be negated, a `%|:|%' sign indicating
354 * that it requires an argument, or a `%|::|%' string,
355 * indicating an optional argument. Both `%|+|%' and `%|:|%' or
356 * `%|::|%' may be given, although the `%|+|%' must come first.
358 * If an option is found, the option character is returned to
359 * the caller. A pointer to an argument is stored in
360 * @data->arg@, or @NULL@ is stored if there was no argument.
361 * If a negated option was found, the option character is
362 * returned ORred with @OPTF_NEGATED@ (bit 8 set).
364 * Long options are described in a table. Each entry in the
365 * table is of type @struct option@, and the table is terminated
366 * by an entry whose @name@ field is null. Each option has
367 * a flags word which, due to historical reasons, is called
368 * @has_arg@. This describes various properties of the option,
369 * such as what sort of argument it takes, and whether it can
372 * When mdwopt finds a long option, it looks the name up in the
373 * table. The index of the matching entry is stored in the
374 * @longind@ variable, passed to mdwopt (unless @longind@ is 0):
375 * a value of %$-1$% indicates that no long option was
376 * found. The behaviour is then dependent on the values in the
377 * table entry. If @flag@ is nonzero, it points to an integer
378 * to be modified by mdwopt. Usually the value in the @val@
379 * field is simply stored in the @flag@ variable. If the flag
380 * @OPTF_SWITCH@ is set, however, the value is combined with
381 * the existing value of the flags using a bitwise OR. If
382 * @OPTF_NEGATE@ is set, then the flag bit will be cleared if a
383 * matching negated long option is found. The value 0 is
386 * If @flag@ is zero, the value in @val@ is returned by mdwopt,
387 * possibly with bit 8 set if the option was negated.
389 * Arguments for long options are stored in @data->arg@, as
392 * Numeric options, if enabled, cause the value `%|#|%' to be
393 * returned, and the numeric value to be stored in @data->opt@.
395 * If the flag @OPTF_ENVVAR@ is set on entry, options will be
396 * extracted from an environment variable whose name is built by
397 * capitalizing all the letters of the program's name. (This
398 * allows a user to have different default settings for a
399 * program, by calling it through different symbolic links.)
