      63     options given in OPTS.
      64  
      65     Return the option character from OPTS just read.  Return -1 when
      66     there are no more options.  For unrecognized options, or options
      67     missing arguments, 'optopt' is set to the option letter, and '?' is
      68     returned.
      69  
      70     The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
      71     letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
      72     takes an argument, to be placed in 'optarg'.
      73  
      74     If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
      75     optional.  This behavior is specific to the GNU 'getopt'.
      76  
      77     The argument '--' causes premature termination of argument
      78     scanning, explicitly telling 'getopt' that there are no more
      79     options.
      80  
      81     If OPTS begins with '-', then non-option arguments are treated as
      82     arguments to the option '\1'.  This behavior is specific to the GNU
      83     'getopt'.  If OPTS begins with '+', or POSIXLY_CORRECT is set in
      84     the environment, then do not permute arguments.
      85  
      86     For standards compliance, the 'argv' argument has the type
      87     char *const *, but this is inaccurate; if argument permutation is
      88     enabled, the argv array (not the strings it points to) must be
      89     writable.  */
