/* This version of `getopt' appears to the caller like standard Unix `getopt'
but it behaves differently for the user, since it allows the user
to intersperse the options with the other arguments.

As `getopt' works, it permutes the elements of `argv' so that,
when it is done, all the options precede everything else. Thus
all application programs are extended to handle flexible argument order.

Setting the environment variable _POSIX_OPTION_ORDER disables permutation.
Then the behavior is completely standard.

GNU application programs can use a third alternative mode in which
they can distinguish the relative order of options and other arguments. */

/* Describe how to deal with options that follow non-option ARGV-elements.

UNSPECIFIED means the caller did not specify anything;
the default is then REQUIRE_ORDER if the environment variable
_OPTIONS_FIRST is defined, PERMUTE otherwise.

REQUIRE_ORDER means don't recognize them as options.
Stop option processing when the first non-option is seen.
This is what Unix does.

PERMUTE is the default. We permute the contents of `argv' as we scan,
so that eventually all the options are at the end. This allows options
to be given in any order, even with programs that were not written to
expect this.

RETURN_IN_ORDER is an option available to programs that were written
to expect options and other ARGV-elements in any order and that care about
the ordering of the two. We describe each non-option ARGV-element
as if it were the argument of an option with character code zero.
Using `-' as the first character of the list of option characters
requests this mode of operation.

The special argument `--' forces an end of option-scanning regardless
of the value of `ordering'. In the case of RETURN_IN_ORDER, only
`--' can cause `getopt' to return EOF with `optind' != ARGC. */
