getopt_long(3): note an inconsistency with getopt(3) in BUGS

2023-02-11T05:32:50Z

getopt_long(3) will not allow an `optind` setting of 0 to be bug-for-bug compatible with the GNU implementation, as some software does rely on it. Document it as a BUG, since it affects previous declarations of compatibility with getopt(3). Reviewed by: pauamma (markup) Sponsored by: Klara, Inc.

getopt_long(3): Document behavior of leading characters in optstring

2018-08-12T00:08:14Z

Leading '+', '-', and ':' in optstring have special meaning. We briefly mention that the first two have special meaning in that we say POSIXLY_CORRECT turns them off, but we don't actually document their meaning. Add a paragraph to RETURN VALUES explaining how they control the treatment of non-option arguments. A leading ':' has no mention; add a note that it suppresses warnings about missing arguments.
