*
* A SML port of GNU's getopt library.
*
* This port is derived from Sven Panne's
* <Sven.Panne@informatik.uni-muenchen.de>
* implementation of the getopt library in Haskell <http://www.haskell.org>
*
* The following comments are lifted from Sven's code:
*
* Two rather obscure features are missing: The Bash 2.0 non-option hack (if
* you don't already know it, you probably don't want to hear about it...)
* and the recognition of long options with a single dash (e.g. '-help' is
* recognised as '--help', as long as there is no short option 'h').
*
* Other differences between GNU's getopt and this implementation:
* * To enforce a coherent description of options and arguments, there are
* explanation fields in the option/argument descriptor.
* * Error messages are now more informative, but no longer POSIX
* compliant... :-(
*
*
*
* A difference with Sven's port: errors now invoke an error callback, rather
* than returning error strings while continuing processing options.
* The full generality of the latter does not seem justified.
*)

= RequireOrder
| Permute
| ReturnInOrder of string -> 'a
(* What to do with options following non-options:
* RequireOrder: no option processing after first non-option
* Permute: freely intersperse options and non-options
* ReturnInOrder: wrap non-options into options
*)
datatype 'a arg_descr
= NoArg of unit -> 'a
| ReqArg of (string -> 'a) * string
| OptArg of (string option -> 'a) * string

* NoArg: no argument required
* ReqArg: option requires an argument; the string is the argument name
* OptArg: optional argument; the string is the argument name
