 * Such short option cannot be grouped within single '-abc'. */

/* Enable special compiler-like mode for the long option.
 *
 * Note ::shortname is not supported with this flag. CMDLINE_OPTION::shortname
 * is silently ignored if the flag is used.
 *
 * With this flag, CMDLINE_OPTION::longname is treated differently as follows:
 *
 * 1. The option matches if the CMDLINE_OPTION::longname is the exact prefix
 *   of the argv[i] from commandline.
 *
 * 2. Double dash ("--") is not automatically prepended to
 *    CMDLINE_OPTION::longname. (If you desire any leading dash, include it
 *    explicitly in CMDLINE_OPTION initialization.)
 *
 * 3. An argument (optionally after a whitespace) is required (the flag
 *    CMDLINE_OPTFLAG_COMPILERLIKE implicitly implies also the flag
 *    CMDLINE_OPTFLAG_REQUIREDARG).
 *
 *    But there is no delimiter expected (no "=" between the option and its
 *    argument). Whitespace is optional between the option and its argument.
 *
 *    Intended use is for options similar to what many compilers accept.
 *    For example:
 *      -DDEBUG=0               (-D is the option, DEBUG=0 is the argument).
 *      -Isrc/include           (-I is the option, src/include is the argument).
 *      -isystem /usr/include   (-isystem is the option, /usr/include is the argument).
 *      -lmath                  (-l is the option, math is the argument).

/* Parses all options and their arguments as specified by argc, argv accordingly
 * with the given options (except argv[0] which is ignored).
 *
 * The caller must specify the list of supported options in the 1st parameter
 * of the function. The array must end with a record whose CMDLINE_OPTION::id
 * is zero to zero.
 *
 * The provided callback function is called for each option on the command
 * line so that:
 *
 *   -- the "id" refers to the id of the option as specified  in options[].
 *
 *   -- the "arg" specifies an argument of the option or NULL if none is
 *      provided.
 *
 *   -- the "userdata" just allows to pass in some caller's context into
 *      the callback.
 *
 * Special cases (recognized via special "id" value) are reported to the
 * callback as follows:
 *
 *   -- If id is CMDLINE_OPTID_NONE, the callback informs about a non-option
 *      also known as a positional argument.
 *
 *      All argv[] tokens which are not interpreted as an options or an argument
 *      of any option fall into this category.
 *
 *      Usually, programs interpret these as paths to file to process.
 *
 *   -- If id is CMDLINE_OPTID_UNKNOWN, the corresponding argv[] looks like an
 *      option but it is not found in the options[] passed to cmdline_read().
 *
 *      The callback's parameter arg specifies the guilty command line token.
 *      Usually, program writes down an error message and exits.
 *
 *   -- If id is CMDLINE_OPTID_MISSINGARG, the given option is valid but its
 *      flag in options[] requires an argument; yet there is none on the
 *      command line.
 *
 *      The callback's parameter arg specifies the guilty option name.
 *      Usually, program writes down an error message and exits.
 *
 *   -- If id is CMDLINE_OPTID_BOGUSARG, the given option is valid but its
 *      flag in options[] does not expect an argument; yet the command line
 *      does provide one.
 *
 *      The callback's parameter arg specifies the guilty option name.
 *      Usually, program writes down an error message and exits.
 *
 * On success, zero is returned.
 *
 * If the callback returns a non-zero, cmdline_read() aborts immediately and
 * cmdline_read() propagates the same return value to the caller.
