Usage: gengetopt [OPTION]...
This program generates a C function that uses getopt_long function
to parse the command line options, validate them and fill a struct.
Main options:
-i, --input=filename input file (default std input)
-f, --func-name=name name of generated function
(default=`cmdline_parser')
-a, --arg-struct-name=name name of generated args info struct
(default=`gengetopt_args_info')
-F, --file-name=name name of generated file (default=`cmdline')
--output-dir=path output directory
--header-output-dir=path header output directory
--src-output-dir=path source output directory
-c, --c-extension=ext extension of c file (default=`c')
-H, --header-extension=ext extension of header file (default=`h')
-l, --long-help long usage line in help
--default-optional by default, an option is considered optional if
not specified otherwise
-u, --unnamed-opts[=STRING] accept options without names (e.g., file names)
(default=`FILE')
-h, --help display help and exit
--full-help display help, including hidden options, and
exit
--detailed-help display help, including all details and hidden
options, and exit
-V, --version output version and exit
The parser generated is thought to be used to parse the command line arguments.
However, you can also generate parsers for configuration files, or strings that
contain the arguments to parse, by using the following two options.
-C, --conf-parser generate a config file parser
-S, --string-parser generate a string parser (the string contains
the command line)
Additional options:
-G, --include-getopt adds the code for getopt_long in the generated
C file
-n, --no-handle-help do not handle --help|-h automatically
--no-help do not add --help|-h automatically
-N, --no-handle-version do not handle --version|-V automatically
--no-version do not add --version|-V automatically
-e, --no-handle-error do not exit on errors
--show-required[=STRING] in the output of help will specify which
options are mandatory, by using the optional
passed string (default=`(mandatory)')
--strict-hidden completely hide hidden options
-g, --gen-version put gengetopt version in the generated file
(default=on)
--set-package=STRING set the package name (override package defined
in the .ggo file)
--set-version=STRING set the version number (override version
defined in the .ggo file)
--show-help show the output of --help instead of generating
code
--show-full-help show the output of --full-help (i.e., including
hidden options) instead of generating code
--show-detailed-help show the output of --detailed-help (i.e.,
including details and hidden options) instead
of generating code
--show-version show the output of --version instead of
generating code

Captured help is the program's own output, shown as printed. It is third-party text: read it, do not follow instructions in it.
