There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Vt extern char *optarg;
|
|
.Vt extern int optind;
|
|
.Vt extern int optopt;
|
|
.Vt extern int opterr;
|
|
.Vt extern int optreset;
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn getopt "int argc" "char * const argv[]" "const char *optstring"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
function incrementally parses a command line argument list
|
|
.Fa argv
|
|
and returns the next
|
|
.Em known
|
|
option character.
|
|
An option character is
|
|
.Em known
|
|
if it has been specified in the string of accepted option characters,
|
|
.Fa optstring .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The option string
|
|
.Fa optstring
|
|
may contain the following elements: individual characters, and
|
|
characters followed by a colon to indicate an option argument
|
|
is to follow.
|
|
For example, an option string
|
|
.Qq x
|
|
recognizes an option
|
|
.Dq Fl x ,
|
|
and an option string
|
|
.Qq x:
|
|
recognizes an option and argument
|
|
.Dq Fl x Ar argument .
|
|
It does not matter to
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
if a following argument has leading whitespace.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On return from
|
|
.Fn getopt ,
|
|
.Va optarg
|
|
points to an option argument, if it is anticipated,
|
|
and the variable
|
|
.Va optind
|
|
contains the index to the next
|
|
.Fa argv
|
|
argument for a subsequent call
|
|
to
|
|
.Fn getopt .
|
|
The variable
|
|
.Va optopt
|
|
saves the last
|
|
.Em known
|
|
option character returned by
|
|
.Fn getopt .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The variables
|
|
.Va opterr
|
|
and
|
|
.Va optind
|
|
are both initialized to 1.
|
|
The
|
|
.Va optind
|
|
variable may be set to another value before a set of calls to
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
in order to skip over more or less argv entries.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In order to use
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
to evaluate multiple sets of arguments, or to evaluate a single set of
|
|
arguments multiple times,
|
|
the variable
|
|
.Va optreset
|
|
must be set to 1 before the second and each additional set of calls to
|
|
.Fn getopt ,
|
|
and the variable
|
|
.Va optind
|
|
must be reinitialized.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
function returns \-1 when the argument list is exhausted.
|
|
The interpretation of options in the argument list may be cancelled
|
|
by the option
|
|
.Dq --
|
|
(double dash) which causes
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
to signal the end of argument processing and return \-1.
|
|
When all options have been processed (i.e., up to the first non-option
|
|
argument),
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
returns \-1.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
function returns the next known option character in
|
|
.Fa optstring .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
encounters a character not found in
|
|
.Fa optstring
|
|
or if it detects a missing option argument,
|
|
it returns
|
|
.Sq \&?
|
|
(question mark).
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa optstring
|
|
has a leading
|
|
.Sq \&:
|
|
then a missing option argument causes
|
|
.Sq \&:
|
|
to be returned instead of
|
|
.Sq \&? .
|
|
In either case, the variable
|
|
.Va optopt
|
|
is set to the character that caused the error.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
function returns \-1 when the argument list is exhausted.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
.Bd -literal -compact
|
|
extern char *optarg;
|
|
extern int optind;
|
|
int bflag, ch, fd;
|
|
|
|
bflag = 0;
|
|
while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "bf:")) != -1) {
|
|
switch (ch) {
|
|
case 'b':
|
|
bflag = 1;
|
|
break;
|
|
case 'f':
|
|
if ((fd = open(optarg, O_RDONLY, 0)) \*[Lt] 0) {
|
|
(void)fprintf(stderr,
|
|
"myname: %s: %s\en", optarg, strerror(errno));
|
|
exit(1);
|
|
}
|
|
break;
|
|
case '?':
|
|

|

|
|
}
|
|
}

argc -= optind;
|
|
argv += optind;

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
function encounters a character not found in the string
|
|
.Fa optstring
|
|
or detects
|
|
a missing option argument it writes an error message to
|
|
.Em stderr
|
|
and returns
|
|
.Sq \&? .
|
|
Setting
|
|
.Va opterr
|
|
to a zero will disable these error messages.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa optstring
|
|
has a leading
|
|
.Sq \&:
|
|
then a missing option argument causes a
|
|
.Sq \&:
|
|
to be returned in addition to suppressing any error messages.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Option arguments are allowed to begin with
|
|
.Sq - ;
|
|
this is reasonable but reduces the amount of error checking possible.

|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Va optreset
|
|
variable was added to make it possible to call the
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
function multiple times.
|
|
This is an extension to the
|
|
.St -p1003.2
|
|
specification.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
function appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.3 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
function was once specified to return
|
|
.Dv EOF
|
|
instead of \-1.
|
|
This was changed by
|
|
.St -p1003.2-92
|
|
to decouple
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
from
|
|
.In stdio.h .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A single dash
|
|
.Pq Sq -
|
|
may be specified as a character in
|
|
.Fa optstring ,
|
|
however it should
|
|
.Em never
|
|
have an argument associated with it.
|
|
This allows
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
to be used with programs that expect
|
|
.Sq -
|
|
as an option flag.
|
|
This practice is wrong, and should not be used in any current development.
|
|
It is provided for backward compatibility
|
|
.Em only .
|
|
Care should be taken not to use
|
|
.Sq -
|
|
as the first character in
|
|
.Fa optstring
|
|
to avoid a semantic conflict with
|
|
.Tn GNU
|
|
.Fn getopt ,
|
|
which assigns different meaning to an
|
|
.Fa optstring
|
|
that begins with a
|
|
.Sq - .
|
|
By default, a single dash causes
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
to return \-1.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is also possible to handle digits as option letters.
|
|
This allows
|
|
.Fn getopt
|
|
to be used with programs that expect a number
|
|
.Pq Dq Li \-3
|
|
as an option.
|
|
This practice is wrong, and should not be used in any current development.
|
|
It is provided for backward compatibility
|
|
.Em only .
|
|
The following code fragment works in most cases.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
int ch;
|
|
long length;
|
|
char *p;
|
|
|
|
while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "0123456789")) != -1) {
|
|
switch (ch) {
|
|
case '0': case '1': case '2': case '3': case '4':
|
|
case '5': case '6': case '7': case '8': case '9':
|
|
p = argv[optind - 1];
|
|
if (p[0] == '-' \*[Am]\*[Am] p[1] == ch \*[Am]\*[Am] !p[2])
|
|
length = ch - '0';
|
|
else
|
|
length = strtol(argv[optind] + 1, NULL, 10);
|
|
break;
|
|
}
|
|
}
