  45/*
  46 * `type`::
  47 *   holds the type of the option, you must have an OPTION_END last in your
  48 *   array.
  49 *
  50 * `short_name`::
  51 *   the character to use as a short option name, '\0' if none.
  52 *
  53 * `long_name`::
  54 *   the long option name, without the leading dashes, NULL if none.
  55 *
  56 * `value`::
  57 *   stores pointers to the values to be filled.
  58 *
  59 * `argh`::
  60 *   token to explain the kind of argument this option wants. Keep it
  61 *   homogeneous across the repository.
  62 *
  63 * `help`::
  64 *   the short help associated to what the option does.
  65 *   Must never be NULL (except for OPTION_END).
  66 *   OPTION_GROUP uses this pointer to store the group header.
  67 *
  68 * `flags`::
  69 *   mask of parse_opt_option_flags.
  70 *   PARSE_OPT_OPTARG: says that the argument is optional (not for BOOLEANs)
  71 *   PARSE_OPT_NOARG: says that this option takes no argument
  72 *   PARSE_OPT_NONEG: says that this option cannot be negated
  73 *   PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN: this option is skipped in the default usage, and
  74 *                     shown only in the full usage.
  75 *   PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT: says that this option will take the default
  76 *                              value if no argument is given when the option
  77 *                              is last on the command line. If the option is
  78 *                              not last it will require an argument.
  79 *                              Should not be used with PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
  80 *   PARSE_OPT_NODASH: this option doesn't start with a dash.
  81 *   PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP: says that argh shouldn't be enclosed in brackets
  82 *                              (i.e. '<argh>') in the help message.
  83 *                              Useful for options with multiple parameters.
  84 *   PARSE_OPT_NEGHELP: says that the long option should always be shown with
  85 *                              the --no prefix in the usage message. Sometimes
  86 *                              useful for users of OPTION_NEGBIT.
  87 *
  88 * `callback`::
  89 *   pointer to the callback to use for OPTION_CALLBACK.
  90 *
  91 * `defval`::
  92 *   default value to fill (*->value) with for PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
  93 *   OPTION_{BIT,SET_INT,SET_PTR} store the {mask,integer,pointer} to put in
  94 *   the value when met.
  95 *   CALLBACKS can use it like they want.
