You can also pass NULL instead of a usage array as fourth parameter of

|
parse_options(), to avoid displaying a help screen with usage info and
|
||||||
|
option list. This should only be done if necessary, e.g. to implement
|
||||||
|
a limited parser for only a subset of the options that needs to be run
|
||||||
|
before the full parser, which in turn shows the full help message.

argument.
|

|
|

`PARSE_OPT_KEEP_ARGV0`::
|
||||||
|
Keep the first argument, which contains the program name. It's
|
||||||
|
removed from argv[] by default.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN`::
|
||||||
|
Keep unknown arguments instead of erroring out. This doesn't
|
||||||
|
work for all combinations of arguments as users might expect
|
||||||
|
it to do. E.g. if the first argument in `--unknown --known`
|
||||||
|
takes a value (which we can't know), the second one is
|
||||||
|
mistakenly interpreted as a known option. Similarly, if
|
||||||
|
`PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION` is set, the second argument in
|
||||||
|
`--unknown value` will be mistakenly interpreted as a
|
||||||
|
non-option, not as a value belonging to the unknown option,
|
||||||
|
stopping the parser early.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP`::
|
||||||
|
By default, parse_options() handles `-h`, `--help` and
|
||||||
|
`--help-all` internally, by showing a help screen. This option
|
||||||
|
turns it off and allows one to add custom handlers for these
|
||||||
|
options, or to just leave them unknown.
