41 This is the main entry point for command line argument parsing.
43 Parse command line arguments according to structure options,
44 starting at position opt_index.
46 All output of parsed values is via pointers in options.
48 Parsing stops at -- (consumed) or at the (k+1)st argument
49 not starting with -- (a "positional argument") if options contains
50 k positional argument descriptors.
52 Returns the index of first non-parsed argument, or -1 in case of error.

59 * If the argument parsing loop provided by parse_arguments is not
60 * flexible enough, then the user might be interested in the following
61 * routines, but note that the API to parse_option might have to
62 * change. See command-line-arguments.c for descriptions of these
