7.4.2.1 Required Attributes
Every option must have exactly one copy of both of these attributes.
- `name'
- Long name for the option. Even if you are not accepting long options
and are only accepting flags, it must be provided. AutoOpts generates
private, named storage that require this name.
- `descrip'
- Except for documentation options, a very brief description
of the option. About 40 characters on one line, maximum.
It appears on the
usage()
output next to the option name.
Documentation options appear on one or more lines by themselves,
visually separating the usage options.
