| 55 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
| 56 | The | ||
| 57 | .Fn getopt_long | ||
| 58 | function is similar to | ||
| 59 | .Xr getopt 3 | ||
| 60 | but it accepts options in two forms: words and characters. | ||
| 61 | The | ||
| 62 | .Fn getopt_long | ||
| 63 | function provides a superset of of the functionality of | ||
| 64 | .Xr getopt 3 . | ||
| 65 | .Fn getopt_long | ||
| 66 | can be used in two ways. | ||
| 67 | In the first way, every long option understood by the program has a | ||
| 68 | corresponding short option, and the option structure is only used to | ||
| 69 | translate from long options to short options. | ||
| 70 | When used in this fashion, | ||
| 71 | .Fn getopt_long | ||
| 72 | behaves identically to | ||
| 73 | .Xr getopt 3 . | ||
| 74 | This is a good way to add long option processing to an existing program | ||
| 75 | with the minimum of rewriting. | ||
| 76 | .Pp | ||
| 77 | In the second mechanism, a long option sets a flag in the | ||
| 78 | .Fa option | ||
| 79 | structure passed, or will store a pointer to the command line argument | ||
| 80 | in the | ||
| 81 | .Fa option | ||
| 82 | structure passed to it for options that take arguments. | ||
| 83 | Additionally, the long option's argument may be specified as a single | ||
| 84 | argument with an equal sign, e.g. | ||
| 85 | .Bd -literal | ||
| 86 | myprogram --myoption=somevalue | ||
| 87 | .Ed | ||
| 88 | .Pp | ||
| 89 | When a long option is processed the call to | ||
| 90 | .Fn getopt_long | ||
| 91 | will return 0. | ||
| 92 | For this reason, long option processing without | ||
| 93 | shortcuts is not backwards compatible with | ||
| 94 | .Xr getopt 3 . | ||
| 95 | .Pp | ||
| 96 | It is possible to combine these methods, providing for long options | ||
| 97 | processing with short option equivalents for some options. | ||
| 98 | Less frequently used options would be processed as long options only. | ||
| 99 | .Pp | ||
| 100 | The | ||
| 101 | .Fn getopt_long | ||
| 102 | call requires a structure to be initialized describing the long | ||
| 103 | options. | ||
| 104 | The structure is: | ||
| 105 | .Bd -literal | ||
| 106 | struct option { | ||
| 107 | char *name; | ||
| 108 | int has_arg; | ||
| 109 | int *flag; | ||
| 110 | int val; | ||
| 111 | }; | ||
| 112 | .Ed | ||
| 113 | .Pp | ||
| 114 | The | ||
| 115 | .Fa name | ||
| 116 | field should contain the option name without the leading double dash. | ||
| 117 | .Pp | ||
| 118 | The | ||
| 119 | .Fa has_arg | ||
| 120 | field should be one of: | ||
| 121 | .Bl -tag -width "optional_argument" | ||
| 122 | .It Li no_argument | ||
| 123 | no argument to the option is expect. | ||
| 124 | .It Li required_argument | ||
| 125 | an argument to the option is required. | ||
| 126 | .It Li optional_argument | ||
| 127 | an argument to the option may be presented. | ||
| 128 | .El | ||
| 129 | .Pp | ||
| 130 | If | ||
| 131 | .Fa flag | ||
| 132 | is not | ||
| 133 | .Dv NULL , | ||
| 134 | then the integer pointed to by it will be set to the value in the | ||
| 135 | .Fa val | ||
| 136 | field. | ||
| 137 | If the | ||
| 138 | .Fa flag | ||
| 139 | field is | ||
| 140 | .Dv NULL , | ||
| 141 | then the | ||
| 142 | .Fa val | ||
| 143 | field will be returned. | ||
| 144 | Setting | ||
| 145 | .Fa flag | ||
| 146 | to | ||
| 147 | .Dv NULL | ||
| 148 | and setting | ||
| 149 | .Fa val | ||
| 150 | to the corresponding short option will make this function act just | ||
| 151 | like | ||
| 152 | .Xr getopt 3 . | ||
| 153 | .Pp | ||
| 154 | The | ||
| 155 | .Fn getopt_long_only | ||
| 156 | function behaves identically to | ||
| 157 | .Fn getopt_long | ||
| 158 | with the exception that long options may start with | ||
| 159 | .Sq - | ||
| 160 | in addition to | ||
| 161 | .Sq -- . | ||
| 162 | If an option starting with | ||
| 163 | .Sq - | ||
| 164 | does not match a long option but does match a single-character option, | ||
| 165 | the single-character option is returned. | ||

| 202 | .Sh IMPLEMENTATION DIFFERENCES | ||
| 203 | This section describes differences to the GNU implementation | ||
| 204 | found in glibc-2.1.3: | ||
| 205 | .Bl -tag -width "xxx" | ||
| 206 | .It Li o | ||
| 207 | handling of - as first char of option string in presence of | ||
| 208 | environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT: | ||
| 209 | .Bl -tag -width "OpenBSD" | ||
| 210 | .It Li GNU | ||
| 211 | ignores POSIXLY_CORRECT and returns non-options as | ||
| 212 | arguments to option '\e1'. | ||
| 213 | .It Li OpenBSD | ||
| 214 | honors POSIXLY_CORRECT and stops at the first non-option. | ||
| 215 | .El | ||
| 216 | .It Li o | ||
| 217 | handling of :: in options string in presence of POSIXLY_CORRECT: | ||
| 218 | .Bl -tag -width "OpenBSD" | ||
| 219 | .It Li Both | ||
| 220 | GNU and OpenBSD ignore POSIXLY_CORRECT here and take :: to | ||
| 221 | mean the preceding option takes an optional argument. | ||
| 222 | .El | ||
| 223 | .It Li o | ||
| 224 | return value in case of missing argument if first character | ||
| 225 | (after + or -) in option string is not ':': | ||
| 226 | .Bl -tag -width "OpenBSD" | ||
| 227 | .It Li GNU | ||
| 228 | returns '?' | ||
| 229 | .It OpenBSD | ||
| 230 | returns ':' (since OpenBSD's getopt does). | ||
| 231 | .El | ||
| 232 | .It Li o | ||
| 233 | handling of --a in getopt: | ||
| 234 | .Bl -tag -width "OpenBSD" | ||
| 235 | .It Li GNU | ||
| 236 | parses this as option '-', option 'a'. | ||
| 237 | .It Li OpenBSD | ||
| 238 | parses this as '--', and returns -1 (ignoring the a). (Because | ||
| 239 | the original getopt does.) | ||
| 240 | .El | ||
| 241 | .It Li o | ||
| 242 | setting of optopt for long options with flag != | ||
| 243 | .Dv NULL : | ||
| 244 | .Bl -tag -width "OpenBSD" | ||
| 245 | .It Li GNU | ||
| 246 | sets optopt to val. | ||
| 247 | .It Li OpenBSD | ||
| 248 | sets optopt to 0 (since val would never be returned). | ||
| 249 | .El | ||
| 250 | .It Li o | ||
| 251 | handling of -W with W; in option string in getopt (not getopt_long): | ||
| 252 | .Bl -tag -width "OpenBSD" | ||
| 253 | .It Li GNU | ||
| 254 | causes a segfault. | ||
| 255 | .It Li OpenBSD | ||
| 256 | returns \-1, with optind pointing past the argument of -W | ||
| 257 | (as if `-W arg' were `--arg', and thus '--' had been found). | ||
| 258 | .\" How should we treat W; in the option string when called via | ||
| 259 | .\" getopt? Ignore the ';' or treat it as a ':'? Issue a warning? | ||
| 260 | .El | ||
| 261 | .It Li o | ||
| 262 | setting of optarg for long options without an argument that are | ||
| 263 | invoked via -W (W; in option string): | ||
| 264 | .Bl -tag -width "OpenBSD" | ||
| 265 | .It Li GNU | ||
| 266 | sets optarg to the option name (the argument of -W). | ||
| 267 | .It Li OpenBSD | ||
| 268 | sets optarg to | ||
| 269 | .Dv NULL | ||
| 270 | (the argument of the long option). | ||
| 271 | .El | ||
| 272 | .It Li o | ||
| 273 | handling of -W with an argument that is not (a prefix to) a known | ||
| 274 | long option (W; in option string): | ||
| 275 | .Bl -tag -width "OpenBSD" | ||
| 276 | .It Li GNU | ||
| 277 | returns -W with optarg set to the unknown option. | ||
| 278 | .It Li OpenBSD | ||
| 279 | treats this as an error (unknown option) and returns '?' with | ||
| 280 | optopt set to 0 and optarg set to | ||
| 281 | .Dv NULL | ||
| 282 | (as GNU's man page documents). | ||
| 283 | .El | ||
| 284 | .It Li o | ||
| 285 | The error messages are different. | ||
| 286 | .It Li o | ||
| 287 | OpenBSD does not permute the argument vector at the same points in | ||
| 288 | the calling sequence as GNU does. | ||
| 289 | The aspects normally used by the caller | ||
| 290 | (ordering after \-1 is returned, value of optind relative | ||
| 291 | to current positions) are the same, though. | ||
| 292 | (We do fewer variable swaps.) | ||
| 293 | .El | ||
| 294 | .Sh ENVIRONMENT | ||
| 295 | .Bl -tag -width POSIXLY_CORRECT | ||
| 296 | .It Ev POSIXLY_CORRECT | ||
| 297 | If set, option processing stops when the first non-option is found and | ||
| 298 | a leading | ||
| 299 | .Sq - | ||
| 300 | or | ||
| 301 | .Sq + | ||
| 302 | in the | ||
| 303 | .Ar optstring | ||
| 304 | is ignored. | ||
| 305 | .El | ||
| 306 | .Sh SEE ALSO | ||
| 307 | .Xr getopt 3 | ||
| 308 | .Sh HISTORY | ||
| 309 | The | ||
| 310 | .Fn getopt_long | ||
| 311 | and | ||
| 312 | .Fn getopt_long_only | ||
| 313 | functions first appeared in GNU libiberty. | ||
| 314 | This implementation first appeared in | ||
| 315 | .Ox 3.3 . | ||
| 316 | .Sh BUGS | ||
| 317 | The | ||
| 318 | .Ar argv | ||
| 319 | argument is not really | ||
| 320 | .Dv const | ||
| 321 | as its elements may be permuted (unless | ||
| 322 | .Ev POSIXLY_CORRECT | ||
| 323 | is set). | ||
| 324 | .Pp | ||
| 325 | In a future release, this implementation should completely replace | ||
| 326 | .Xr getopt 3 . | ||
