`OPT__COLOR(&int_var, description)`::
Add `\--color[=<when>]` and `--no-color`.
-`OPT__DRY_RUN(&int_var)`::
+`OPT__DRY_RUN(&int_var, description)`::
Add `-n, \--dry-run`.
-`OPT__QUIET(&int_var)`::
+`OPT__FORCE(&int_var, description)`::
+ Add `-f, \--force`.
+
+`OPT__QUIET(&int_var, description)`::
Add `-q, \--quiet`.
-`OPT__VERBOSE(&int_var)`::
+`OPT__VERBOSE(&int_var, description)`::
Add `-v, \--verbose`.
`OPT_GROUP(description)`::
describes the group or an empty string.
Start the description with an upper-case letter.
-`OPT_BOOLEAN(short, long, &int_var, description)`::
- Introduce a boolean option.
- `int_var` is incremented on each use.
+`OPT_BOOL(short, long, &int_var, description)`::
+ Introduce a boolean option. `int_var` is set to one with
+ `--option` and set to zero with `--no-option`.
+
+`OPT_COUNTUP(short, long, &int_var, description)`::
+ Introduce a count-up option.
+ `int_var` is incremented on each use of `--option`, and
+ reset to zero with `--no-option`.
`OPT_BIT(short, long, &int_var, description, mask)`::
Introduce a boolean option.
If used, `int_var` is bitwise-anded with the inverted `mask`.
`OPT_SET_INT(short, long, &int_var, description, integer)`::
- Introduce a boolean option.
- If used, set `int_var` to `integer`.
+ Introduce an integer option.
+ `int_var` is set to `integer` with `--option`, and
+ reset to zero with `--no-option`.
`OPT_SET_PTR(short, long, &ptr_var, description, ptr)`::
Introduce a boolean option.
"auto", set `int_var` to 1 if stdout is a tty or a pager,
0 otherwise.
+`OPT_NOOP_NOARG(short, long)`::
+ Introduce an option that has no effect and takes no arguments.
+ Use it to hide deprecated options that are still to be recognized
+ and ignored silently.
+
The last element of the array must be `OPT_END()`.
If not stated otherwise, interpret the arguments as follows:
* `short` is a character for the short option
- (e.g. `\'e\'` for `-e`, use `0` to omit),
+ (e.g. `{apostrophe}e{apostrophe}` for `-e`, use `0` to omit),
* `long` is a string for the long option
(e.g. `"example"` for `\--example`, use `NULL` to omit),
The callback mechanism is as follows:
* Inside `func`, the only interesting member of the structure
- given by `opt` is the void pointer `opt->value`.
- `\*opt->value` will be the value that is saved into `var`, if you
+ given by `opt` is the void pointer `opt\->value`.
+ `\*opt\->value` will be the value that is saved into `var`, if you
use `OPT_CALLBACK()`.
- For example, do `*(unsigned long *)opt->value = 42;` to get 42
+ For example, do `*(unsigned long *)opt\->value = 42;` to get 42
into an `unsigned long` variable.
* Return value `0` indicates success and non-zero return
