+ * `type`::

+ *
+ * `short_name`::
+ * the character to use as a short option name, '\0' if none.
+ *
+ * `long_name`::
+ * the long option name, without the leading dashes, NULL if none.
+ *
+ * `value`::
+ * stores pointers to the values to be filled.
+ *
+ * `argh`::
+ * token to explain the kind of argument this option wants. Keep it
+ * homogeneous across the repository.
+ *
+ * `help`::
+ * the short help associated to what the option does.
+ * Must never be NULL (except for OPTION_END).
+ * OPTION_GROUP uses this pointer to store the group header.
+ *
+ * `flags`::
+ * mask of parse_opt_option_flags.
+ * PARSE_OPT_OPTARG: says that the argument is optional (not for BOOLEANs)
+ * PARSE_OPT_NOARG: says that this option takes no argument
+ * PARSE_OPT_NONEG: says that this option cannot be negated
+ * PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN: this option is skipped in the default usage, and
+ * shown only in the full usage.
+ * PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT: says that this option will take the default
+ * value if no argument is given when the option
+ * is last on the command line. If the option is
+ * not last it will require an argument.
+ * Should not be used with PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
+ * PARSE_OPT_NODASH: this option doesn't start with a dash.
+ * PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP: says that argh shouldn't be enclosed in brackets
+ * (i.e. '<argh>') in the help message.
+ * Useful for options with multiple parameters.
+ * PARSE_OPT_NEGHELP: says that the long option should always be shown with
+ * the --no prefix in the usage message. Sometimes
+ * useful for users of OPTION_NEGBIT.
+ *
+ * `callback`::
+ * pointer to the callback to use for OPTION_CALLBACK.
+ *
+ * `defval`::
+ * default value to fill (*->value) with for PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
+ * OPTION_{BIT,SET_INT,SET_PTR} store the {mask,integer,pointer} to put in
+ * the value when met.
+ * CALLBACKS can use it like they want.
