#
# options(arg,optstring,errproc) -- Get command line options.
#
# This procedure separates and interprets command options included in
# the main program argument list. Option names and values are removed
# from the argument list and returned in a table.
#
# On the command line, options are introduced by a "-" character. An
# option name is either a single printable character, as in "-n" or "-?",
# or a string of letters, as in "-geometry". Valueless single-character
# options may appear in combination, for example as "-qtv".
#
# Some options require values. Generally, the option name is one
# argument and the value appears as the next argument, for example
# "-F file.txt". However, with a single-character argument name
# (as in that example), the value may be concatenated: "-Ffile.txt"
# is accepted as equivalent.
#
# Options may be freely interspersed with non-option arguments.
# An argument of "-" is treated as a non-option. The special argument
# "--" terminates option processing. Non-option arguments are returned
# in the original argument list for interpretation by the caller.
#
# An argument of the form @filename (a "@" immediately followed
# by a file name) causes options() to replace that argument with
# arguments retrieved from the file "filename". Each line of the file
# is taken as a separate argument, exactly as it appears in the file.
# Arguments beginning with - are processed as options, and those
# starting with @ are processed as nested argument files. An argument
# of "--" causes all remaining arguments IN THAT FILE ONLY to be
# treated as non-options (including @filename arguments).
#
# The parameters of options(arg,optstring,errproc) are:
#
# arg the argument list as passed to the main procedure.
#
# optstring a string specifying the allowable options. This is
# a concatenation, with optional spaces between, of
# one or more option specs of the form
# -name%
# where
# - introduces the option
# name is either a string of letters
# or any single printable character
# % is one of the following flag characters:
# ! No value is required or allowed
# : A string value is required
# + An integer value is required
# . A real value is required
#
# The leading "-" may be omitted for a single-character
# option. The "!" flag may be omitted except when
# needed to terminate a multi-character name.
# Thus, the following optstrings are equivalent:
# "-n+ -t -v -q -F: -geometry: -silent"
# "n+tvqF:-geometry:-silent"
# "-silent!n+tvqF:-geometry:"
#
# If "optstring" is omitted any single letter is
# assumed to be valid and require no data.
#
# errproc a procedure which will be called if an error is
# is detected in the command line options. The
# procedure is called with one argument: a string
# describing the error that occurred. After errproc()
# is called, options() immediately returns the outcome
# of errproc(), without processing further arguments.
# Already processed arguments will have been removed
# from "arg". If "errproc" is omitted, stop() is
# called if an error is detected.
#
# A table is returned containing the options that were specified.
# The keys are the specified option names. The assigned values are the
# data values following the options converted to the specified type.
# A value of 1 is stored for options that accept no values.
# The table's default value is &null.
#
# Upon return, the option arguments are removed from arg, leaving
# only the non-option arguments.
