Otherwise, `optind' communicates from one call to the next how much of ARGV has been scanned so far. */ extern int optind; /* Callers store zero here to inhibit the error message for unrecognized options. */ extern int opterr; /* Scan elements of ARGV (whose length is ARGC) for option characters given in OPTSTRING. If an element of ARGV starts with '-', and is not exactly "-" or "--", then it is an option element. The characters of this element (aside from the initial '-') are option characters. If `getopt' is called repeatedly, it returns successively each of theoption characters from each of the option elements. If `getopt' finds another option character, it returns that character, updating `optind' and `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 `EOF'. Then `optind' is the index in ARGV of the first ARGV-element that is not an option. (The ARGV-elements have been permuted so that those that are not options now come last.) OPTSTRING is a string containing the legitimate option characters. A colon in OPTSTRING means that the previous character is an option that wants an argument. The argument is taken from the rest of the current ARGV-element, or from the following ARGV-element, and returned in `optarg'. If an option character is seen that is not listed in OPTSTRING, return '?' after printing an error message. If you set `opterr' to zero, the error message is suppressed but we still return '?'. If a char in OPTSTRING is followed by a colon, that means it wants an arg, so the following text in the same ARGV-element, or the text of the following ARGV-element, is returned in `optarg. Two colons mean an option that wants an optional arg; if there is text in the current ARGV-element, it is returned in `optarg'. If OPTSTRING starts with `-', it requests a different method of handling the non-option ARGV-elements. See the comments about RETURN_IN_ORDER, above. */ int getopt (int argc, char **argv, char *optstring);
