#define _GNU_SOURCE

int getopt_long_only(int argc, char *argv[], const char *optstring, const struct option *longopts, int *longindex);

Library

Standard C library (libc, -lc)

Overview

getopt_long_only() is like getopt_long(3), but '-' as well as "--" can indicate a long option. If an option that starts with '-' (not "--") doesn't match a long option, but does match a short option, it is parsed as a short option instead.
