//!
//! Get option character from command line argument list.
//!
//! getOption() is similar to posix getopt() but it accepts options in two
//! forms: words and characters. The getOption() function provides a
//! superset of the functionality of getopt(). The getOption() function can
//! be used in two ways. In the first way, every long-option understood by
//! the program has a corresponding short-option, and the Option structure
//! is only used to translate from long-options to short-options. When used
//! in this fashion, getOption() behaves identically to getopt(). This is
//! a good way to add long-option processing to an esxisting program with
//! a minimum of rewriting.
//!
//! In the second mechanism, a long-option sets a flag in the Option
//! structure structure passed, or will store a pointer to the command line
//! argument in the Option structure passed to it for options that take
//! arguments. Additionally, the long-option's argument may be specified as
//! a single argument with an equal sign, eg:
//!     @code myprogram --myoption=somevalue
//!     @endcode
//!
//! When a long-option is processed, the call to getOption() will return 0.
//! For this reason, long-option processing without shortcuts is not
//! backwards compatible with getopt().
//!
//! It is possible to combine these methods, providing for long-options
//! processing with short-option equivalents for some options.  Less
//! frequently used options would be processed as long-options only.
//!
//! @param argc number of arguments.
//! @param argv argument array of strings.
//! @param optstr string containing the following elements:
//!     individual characters, and characters followed by a colon to indicate
//!     an option argument is to follow. For example, an option string "x"
//!     recognizes an option "-x", and an option string "x:" recognizes an
//!     option and argument "-x argument".
//! @param longopts array of Option entries. The last element must be filled
//!     with zeroes to indicate end-of-array.
//! @param idx If not NULL, then the integer pointed to it will be set to
//!     the index of the long-option relative to <b>longops</b>.
//!
//! @return If the <b>flag</b> field is NULL, <b>val</b> field is returned,
//!     which is usually just the corresponding short-option.
//!     If <b>flag</b> is not NULL, 0 is returned and <b>val</b> is
//!     stored in the location pointed to by <b>flag</b> field.
//!     A ':' will be returned if there was a missing option argument.
//!     A '?' will be returned if an unknown or ambiguous option was used.
//!     A -1 will be returned when the argument list has been exhausted.
