.SH DESCRIPTION
This routine is included for compatibility with UNIX System V.
.LP
.I Getopt
returns the next option letter in
.I argv
that matches a letter in
.I optstring.
.I Optstring
is a string of recognized option letters; if a letter 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.
.I Optarg
is set to point to the start of the option argument on return
from
.I getopt.
.LP
.I Getopt
places in
.I optind
the
.I argv
index of the next argument to be processed.
Because
.I optind
is external, it is normally initialized to zero automatically before
the first call to
.I getopt.
.LP
When all options have been processed (i.e., up to the first non-option
argument),
.I getopt
returns
.B \s-2EOF\s0.
The special option \-\- may be used to delimit the end
of the options;
.B \s-2EOF\s0
will be returned, and \-\- will be skipped.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.I Getopt
prints an error message on
.I stderr
and returns a question mark (?)
when it encounters an option letter not included in
.I optstring.
.SH EXAMPLE
The following code fragment shows how one might process the arguments for a
command that can take the mutually exclusive options
.B a
and
.B b,
and the options
.B f
and
.B o,
both of which require arguments:
