/**
 * Option description
 *
 * This structure describes a single option, and action associated
 * with it, in case it matches.
 *
 * More than one such match may occur, in which case the action for
 * each match is executed.
 *
 * There are three possible actions in case of a match:
 *
 * i) An integer (int or unsigned) variable determined by 'offset' is
 *    set to 'value'
 *
 * ii) The processing function is called, with 'value' as the key
 *
 * iii) An integer (any) or string (char *) variable determined by
 *    'offset' is set to the value of an option parameter
 *
 * 'offset' should normally be either set to
 *
 *  - 'offsetof(struct foo, member)'  actions i) and iii)
 *
 *  - -1			      action ii)
 *
 * The 'offsetof()' macro is defined in the <stddef.h> header.
 *
 * The template determines which options match, and also have an
 * effect on the action.  Normally the action is either i) or ii), but
 * if a format is present in the template, then action iii) is
 * performed.
 *
 * The types of templates are:
 *
 * 1) "-x", "-foo", "--foo", "--foo-bar", etc.	These match only
 *   themselves.  Invalid values are "--" and anything beginning
 *   with "-o"
 *
 * 2) "foo", "foo-bar", etc.  These match "-ofoo", "-ofoo-bar" or
 *    the relevant option in a comma separated option list
 *
 * 3) "bar=", "--foo=", etc.  These are variations of 1) and 2)
 *    which have a parameter
 *
 * 4) "bar=%s", "--foo=%lu", etc.  Same matching as above but perform
 *    action iii).
 *
 * 5) "-x ", etc.  Matches either "-xparam" or "-x param" as
 *    two separate arguments
 *
 * 6) "-x %s", etc.  Combination of 4) and 5)
 *
 * If the format is "%s", memory is allocated for the string unlike with
 * scanf().  The previous value (if non-NULL) stored at the this location is
 * freed.
