/******************************************************************************
 * getopt()
 *
 * The getopt() function is a command line parser.  It returns the next
 * option character in argv that matches an option character in opstring.
 *
 * The argv argument points to an array of argc+1 elements containing argc
 * pointers to character strings followed by a null pointer.
 *
 * The opstring argument points to a string of option characters; if an
 * option character is followed by a colon, the option is expected to have
 * an argument that may or may not be separated from it by white space.
 * The external variable optarg is set to point to the start of the option
 * argument on return from getopt().
 *
 * The getopt() function places in optind the argv index of the next argument
 * to be processed.  The system initializes the external variable optind to
 * 1 before the first call to getopt().
 *
 * When all options have been processed (that is, up to the first nonoption
 * argument), getopt() returns EOF.  The special option "--" may be used to
 * delimit the end of the options; EOF will be returned, and "--" will be
 * skipped.
 *
 * The getopt() function returns a question mark (?) when it encounters an
 * option character not included in opstring.  This error message can be
 * disabled by setting opterr to zero.  Otherwise, it returns the option
 * character that was detected.
 *
 * If the special option "--" is detected, or all options have been
 * processed, EOF is returned.
 *
 * Options are marked by either a minus sign (-) or a slash (/).
 *
 * No errors are defined.
