* getopt_long: accept prefix match of long options containing equals signsSamuel Holland2018-01-311-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Consider the first equals sign found in the option to be the delimiter between it and its argument, even if it matches an equals sign in the option name. This avoids consuming the equals sign, which would prevent finding the argument. Instead, it forces a partial match of the part of the option name before the equals sign. Maintainer's note: GNU getopt_long does not explicitly document this behavior, but it can be seen as a consequence of how partial matches are specified, and at least GNU (bfd) ld is known to make use of it.
* fix getopt_long arguments to partial matchesSamuel Holland2018-01-311-1/+3
| | | | | | | If we find a partial option name match, we need to keep looking for ambiguous/conflicting options. However, we need to remember the position in the candidate argument to find its option-argument later, if there is one. This fixes e.g. option "foobar" being given as "--fooba=baz".
* fix getopt[_long] clobbering of optopt on successRich Felker2017-01-041-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | getopt is only specified to modify optopt on error, and some software apparently infers an error from optopt!=0. getopt_long is changed analogously. the resulting behavior differs slightly from the behavior of the GNU implementation of getopt_long, which keeps an internal shadow copy of optopt and copies it to the public one on return, but since the GNU implementation also exhibits this shadow-copy behavior for plain getopt where is is non-conforming, I think this can reasonably be considered a bug rather than an intentional behavior that merits mimicing.

* simplify part of getopt_longRich Felker2015-01-211-13/+11
| | | | | | | as a result of commit e8e4e56a8ce1f3d7e4a027ff5478f2f8ea70c46b, the later code path for setting optarg to a null pointer is no longer necessary, and removing it eliminates an indention level and arguably makes the code more readable.
* always set optarg in getopt_longRich Felker2015-01-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | the standard getopt does not touch optarg unless processing an option with an argument. however, programs using the GNU getopt API, which we attempt to provide in getopt_long, expect optarg to be a null pointer after processing an option without an argument. before argument permutation support was added, such programs typically detected its absence and used their own replacement getopt_long, masking the discrepency in behavior.
* fix regression in getopt_long support for non-option argumentsRich Felker2015-01-111-7/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit b72cd07f176b876aa51864d93aa8101477b1d732 added support for a this feature in getopt, but it was later broken in the case where getopt_long is used as a side effect of the changes made in commit 91184c4f16b143107fa9935edebe5d2b20bd70d8, which prevented the underlying getopt call from seeing the leading '-' or '+' character in optstring. this commit changes the logic in the getopt_long core to check for a leading colon, possibly after the leading '-' or '+', without depending on the latter having been skipped by the caller. a minor incorrectness in the return value for one error condition in getopt_long is also fixed when opterr has been set to zero but optstring has no leading ':'.
* set optopt in getopt_longRich Felker2014-12-201-0/+1
| | | | | | this is undocumented but possibly expected behavior of GNU getopt_long, and useful when error message printing has been suppressed.
* add error message printing to getopt_long and make related improvementsRich Felker2014-12-201-4/+30
| | | | | some related changes are also made to getopt, and the return value of getopt_long in the case of missing arguments is fixed.
* simplify getopt_long argv permutation loop logicRich Felker2014-12-131-3/+1
|
* fix handling of "--" with getopt_long argv permutationRich Felker2014-12-131-1/+0
| | | | | | if argv permutation is used, the option terminator "--" should be moved before any skipped non-option arguments rather than being left in the argv tail where the caller will see and interpret it.
* accept null longopts pointer in getopt_longRich Felker2014-12-111-1/+1
| | | | | this is an undocumented feature of GNU getopt_long that the BSD version also mimics, and is reportedly needed by some programs.
* support abbreviated options in getopt_longRich Felker2014-12-101-7/+18

* support options after non-option arguments in getopt_long (argv permutation)Rich Felker2014-12-101-0/+39
|
* add support for non-option arguments extension to getoptGianluca Anzolin2014-12-021-3/+4
| | | | | | | this is a GNU extension, activated by including '-' as the first character of the options string, whereby non-option arguments are processed as if they were arguments to an option character '\1' rather than ending option processing.
* add getopt reset supportRich Felker2012-09-301-0/+7
| | | | | | | based on proposed patches by Daniel Cegiełka, with minor changes: - use a weak symbol for optreset so it doesn't clash with namespace - also reset optpos (position in multi-option arg like -lR) - also make getopt_long support reset
* cleanup src/linux and src/misc trees, etc.Rich Felker2012-09-071-0/+52
previously, it was pretty much random which one of these trees a given function appeared in. they have now been organized into: src/linux: non-POSIX linux syscalls (possibly shard with other nixen) src/legacy: various obsolete/legacy functions, mostly wrappers src/misc: still mostly uncategorized; some misc POSIX, some nonstd src/crypt: crypt hash functions further cleanup will be done later.
