Two other modes are also implemented. If the first character of optstring is '+' or the envi‐ ronment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, then option processing stops as soon as a nonoption argument is encountered. If the first character of optstring is '-', then each nonoption argv-element is handled as if it were the argument of an option with character code 1. (This is used by programs that were written to expect options and other argv-elements in any order and that care about the ordering of the two.) The special argument "--" forces an end of option-scanning regardless of the scan‐ ning mode."" prepend optstring with '+' to use POSIXLY_CORRECT mode - while ((c = getopt_long(argc, argv, "s:n:h", long_options, NULL)) != -1) { + while ((c = getopt_long(argc, argv, "+s:n:h", long_options, NULL)) != -1) { posting a patch</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
