Package details
This program generates a C function that uses getopt_long function
to parse the command line options, to validate them and fills a
struct.
Thus your program can now handle options such as:
myprog --input foo.c -o foo.o --no-tabs -i 100 *.class
And both long options (those that start with --) and short options
(start with - and consist of only one character) can be handled.
For standards about short and long options you may want to take a
look at the GNU Coding Standards
.

COPYING for details. Notice that: Use of gengetopt _does not
impose any particular license on the generated code: the code

For documentation, please read the info documentation.
gengetopt is perfect if you are too lazy (like me) to write all
stuff required to call getopt_long, and when you have a program
and wish it took options.
Generated code works if you use GNU Autoconf or GNU Automake.
