gengetopt - Generates a C function that parses and validates command line options
getgetopt takes an easy-to-do description of options and generates a C function that uses the GNU getopt_long(3)
function to parse and validate the options. gengetopt is perfect
if you don't want to write all the stuff required to call GNU
getopt_long(3), or if you have a program and wish it took many
options. The generated code works if you use autoconf or automake.
