+ * - This version of getopt() implements a state machine with certain, strict

+ * 1. getopt() must be called repeatedly until a terminating value is
+ * returned. Terminating values include: {-1, ?, : }.
+ * 2. After a terminating value is returned, getopt() resets the global
+ * data and is ready for the next command line.

+ * optind == -1.
