+"""Parser for command line options.
+
+This module helps scripts to parse the command line arguments in
+sys.argv. It supports the same conventions as the Unix getopt()
+function (including the special meanings of arguments of the form `-'
+and `--'). Long options similar to those supported by GNU software
+may be used as well via an optional third argument. This module
+provides two functions and an exception:
+
+getopt() -- Parse command line options
+gnu_getopt() -- Like getopt(), but allow option and non-option arguments
+to be intermixed.
+GetoptError -- exception (class) raised with 'opt' attribute, which is the
+option involved with the exception.
+"""
+
+# Long option support added by Lars Wirzenius <liw@iki.fi>.
+#
+# Gerrit Holl <gerrit@nl.linux.org> moved the string-based exceptions
+# to class-based exceptions.
+#
+# Peter Åstrand <astrand@lysator.liu.se> added gnu_getopt().
+#
+# TODO for gnu_getopt():
+#
+# - GNU getopt_long_only mechanism
+# - allow the caller to specify ordering
+# - RETURN_IN_ORDER option
+# - GNU extension with '-' as first character of option string
+# - optional arguments, specified by double colons
+# - a option string with a W followed by semicolon should
+# treat "-W foo" as "--foo"

+ Parses command line options and parameter list. args is the
+ argument list to be parsed, without the leading reference to the

+ is the string of option letters that the script wants to
+ recognize, with options that require an argument followed by a
+ colon (i.e., the same format that Unix getopt() uses). If
+ specified, longopts is a list of strings with the names of the
+ long options which should be supported. The leading '--'
+ characters should not be included in the option name. Options
+ which require an argument should be followed by an equal sign
+ ('=').
+
+ The return value consists of two elements: the first is a list of
+ (option, value) pairs; the second is the list of program arguments
+ left after the option list was stripped (this is a trailing slice
+ of the first argument). Each option-and-value pair returned has
+ the option as its first element, prefixed with a hyphen (e.g.,
+ '-x'), and the option argument as its second element, or an empty
+ string if the option has no argument. The options occur in the
+ list in the same order in which they were found, thus allowing
+ multiple occurrences. Long and short options may be mixed.
