    getopt_long(), getopt_long_only(): _GNU_SOURCE  

    DESCRIPTION

    The getopt() function parses the command-line arguments. Its arguments argc and argv are the argument count and array as passed to the main() function on program invocation. An element of argv that starts with aq-aq (and is not exactly "-" or "--") is an option element. The characters of this element (aside from the initial aq-aq) are option characters. If getopt() is called repeatedly, it returns successively each of the option characters from each of the option elements.

    The variable optind is the index of the next element to be processed in argv. The system initializes this value to 1. The caller can reset it to 1 to restart scanning of the same argv, or when scanning a new argument vector.

    If getopt() finds another option character, it returns that character, updating the external variable optind and a static variable nextchar so that the next call to getopt() can resume the scan with the following option character or argv-element.

    If there are no more option characters, getopt() returns -1. Then optind is the index in argv of the first argv-element that is not an option.

    optstring is a string containing the legitimate option characters. If such a character is followed by a colon, the option requires an argument, so getopt() places a pointer to the following text in the same argv-element, or the text of the following argv-element, in optarg. Two colons mean an option takes an optional arg; if there is text in the current argv-element (i.e., in the same word as the option name itself, for example, "-oarg"), then it is returned in optarg, otherwise optarg is set to zero. This is a GNU extension. If optstring contains W followed by a semicolon, then -W foo is treated as the long option --foo. (The -W option is reserved by POSIX.2 for implementation extensions.) This behavior is a GNU extension, not available with libraries before glibc 2.

    By default, getopt() permutes the contents of argv as it scans, so that eventually all the non-options are at the end. Two other modes are also implemented. If the first character of optstring is aq+aq or the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, then option processing stops as soon as a non-option argument is encountered. If the first character of optstring is aq-aq, then each non-option argv-element is handled as if it were the argument of an option with character code 1. (This is used by programs that were written to expect options and other argv-elements in any order and that care about the ordering of the two.) The special argument "--" forces an end of option-scanning regardless of the scanning mode.

    If getopt() does not recognize an option character, it prints an error message to stderr, stores the character in optopt, and returns aq?aq. The calling program may prevent the error message by setting opterr to 0.

    If getopt() finds an option character in argv that was not included in optstring, or if it detects a missing option argument, it returns aq?aq and sets the external variable optopt to the actual option character. If the first character (following any optional aq+aq or aq-aq described above) of optstring is a colon (aq:aq), then getopt() returns aq:aq instead of aq?aq to indicate a missing option argument. If an error was detected, and the first character of optstring is not a colon, and the external variable opterr is non-zero (which is the default), getopt() prints an error message.  

    getopt_long() and getopt_long_only()

    The getopt_long() function works like getopt() except that it also accepts long options, started with two dashes. (If the program accepts only long options, then optstring should be specified as an empty string (""), not NULL.) Long option names may be abbreviated if the abbreviation is unique or is an exact match for some defined option. A long option may take a parameter, of the form --arg=param or --arg param.

    longopts is a pointer to the first element of an array of struct option declared in <getopt.h> as

    
    struct option {
        const char *name;
        int         has_arg;
        int        *flag;
        int         val;
    };
    

    The meanings of the different fields are:

    name
    is the name of the long option.
    has_arg
    is: no_argument (or 0) if the option does not take an argument; required_argument (or 1) if the option requires an argument; or optional_argument (or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
    flag
    specifies how results are returned for a long option. If flag is NULL, then getopt_long() returns val. (For example, the calling program may set val to the equivalent short option character.) Otherwise, getopt_long() returns 0, and flag points to a variable which is set to val if the option is found, but left unchanged if the option is not found.
    val
    is the value to return, or to load into the variable pointed to by flag.

    The last element of the array has to be filled with zeros.

    If longindex is not NULL, it points to a variable which is set to the index of the long option relative to longopts.

    getopt_long_only() is like getopt_long(), but aq-aq as well as "--" can indicate a long option. If an option that starts with aq-aq (not "--") doesn't match a long option, but does match a short option, it is parsed as a short option instead.  

    RETURN VALUE

    If an option was successfully found, then getopt() returns the option character. If all command-line options have been parsed, then getopt() returns -1. If getopt() encounters an option character that was not in optstring, then aq?aq is returned. If getopt() encounters an option with a missing argument, then the return value depends on the first character in optstring: if it is aq:aq, then aq:aq is returned; otherwise aq?aq is returned.

    getopt_long() and getopt_long_only() also return the option character when a short option is recognized. For a long option, they return val if flag is NULL, and 0 otherwise. Error and -1 returns are the same as for getopt(), plus aq?aq for an ambiguous match or an extraneous parameter.  

    ENVIRONMENT

    POSIXLY_CORRECT
    If this is set, then option processing stops as soon as a non-option argument is encountered.
    _<PID>_GNU_nonoption_argv_flags_
    This variable was used by bash(1) 2.0 to communicate to glibc which arguments are the results of wildcard expansion and so should not be considered as options. This behavior was removed in bash(1) version 2.01, but the support remains in glibc.
     

    CONFORMING TO

    getopt():
    POSIX.2 and POSIX.1-2001, provided the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. Otherwise, the elements of argv aren't really const, because we permute them. We pretend they're const in the prototype to be compatible with other systems.

    The use of aq+aq and aq-aq in optstring is a GNU extension.

    On some older implementations, getopt() was declared in <stdio.h>. SUSv1 permitted the declaration to appear in either <unistd.h> or <stdio.h>. POSIX.1-2001 marked the use of <stdio.h> for this purpose as LEGACY. POSIX.1-2001 does not allow the declaration to appear in <stdio.h>.

    getopt_long() and getopt_long_only():
    These functions are GNU extensions.
     

    NOTES

    A program that scans multiple argument vectors, or rescans the same vector more than once, and wants to make use of GNU extensions such as aq+aq and aq-aq at the start of optstring, or changes the value of POSIXLY_CORRECT between scans, must reinitialize getopt() by resetting optind to 0, rather than the traditional value of 1. (Resetting to 0 forces the invocation of an internal initialization routine that rechecks POSIXLY_CORRECT and checks for GNU extensions in optstring.)  

    BUGS

    The POSIX.2 specification of getopt() has a technical error described in POSIX.2 Interpretation 150. The GNU implementation (and probably all other implementations) implements the correct behavior rather than that specified.  

    EXAMPLE

    The following trivial example program uses getopt() to handle two program options: -n, with no associated value; and -t val, which expects an associated value.
    
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int
    main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        int flags, opt;
        int nsecs, tfnd;
    
        nsecs = 0;
        tfnd = 0;
        flags = 0;
        while ((opt = getopt(argc, argv, "nt:")) != -1) {
            switch (opt) {
            case aqnaq:
                flags = 1;
                break;
            case aqtaq:
                nsecs = atoi(optarg);
                tfnd = 1;
                break;
            default: /* aq?aq */
                fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s [-t nsecs] [-n] name\n",
                        argv[0]);
                exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
            }
        }
    
        printf("flags=%d; tfnd=%d; optind=%d\n", flags, tfnd, optind);
    
        if (optind >= argc) {
            fprintf(stderr, "Expected argument after options\n");
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
        }
    
        printf("name argument = %s\n", argv[optind]);
    
        /* Other code omitted */
    
        exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
    }
    

    The following example program illustrates the use of getopt_long() with most of its features.

    
    #include <stdio.h>     /* for printf */
    #include <stdlib.h>    /* for exit */
    #include <getopt.h>
    
    int
    main(int argc, char **argv)
    {
        int c;
        int digit_optind = 0;
    
        while (1) {
            int this_option_optind = optind ? optind : 1;
            int option_index = 0;
            static struct option long_options[] = {
                {"add", 1, 0, 0},
                {"append", 0, 0, 0},
                {"delete", 1, 0, 0},
                {"verbose", 0, 0, 0},
                {"create", 1, 0, aqcaq},
                {"file", 1, 0, 0},
                {0, 0, 0, 0}
            };
    
            c = getopt_long(argc, argv, "abc:d:012",
                     long_options, &option_index);
            if (c == -1)
                break;
    
            switch (c) {
            case 0:
                printf("option %s", long_options[option_index].name);
                if (optarg)
                    printf(" with arg %s", optarg);
                printf("\n");
                break;
    
            case aq0aq:
            case aq1aq:
            case aq2aq:
                if (digit_optind != 0 && digit_optind != this_option_optind)
                  printf("digits occur in two different argv-elements.\n");
                digit_optind = this_option_optind;
                printf("option %c\n", c);
                break;
    
            case aqaaq:
                printf("option a\n");
                break;
    
            case aqbaq:
                printf("option b\n");
                break;
    
            case aqcaq:
                printf("option c with value aq%saq\n", optarg);
                break;
    
            case aqdaq:
                printf("option d with value aq%saq\n", optarg);
                break;
    
            case aq?aq:
                break;
    
            default:
                printf("?? getopt returned character code 0%o ??\n", c);
            }
        }
    
        if (optind < argc) {
            printf("non-option ARGV-elements: ");
            while (optind < argc)
                printf("%s ", argv[optind++]);
            printf("\n");
        }
    
        exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
    }
