Try "man 3 getopt". :-)
More seriously, I don't have my primary references at hand, but I
believe that it is part of the IEEE 1003 (POSIX) specification.
Quoting from the FreeBSD 3.0 man page: "The interpretation of options
in the argument list may be canceled by the option `--' (double dash)
which causes getopt() to signal the end of argument processing and
return -1."
