	And, in reference to another's reply...

	getopt_long really is much more easily explained if you read the
manual.  The general idea is to make processing command line arguments
much easier.  And, if everybody uses the same library, it'll make them
more consistent too.

	getopt_long is related to getopt.  The basic difference is that
it makes processing of GNU long options (like --verbose) easier.

man 3 getopt_long  is your friend.  :-)

Have fun (if at all possible),
