/**
 * C Command line argument parser.
 *
 * This function takes the argv[argc] command line and a description of
 * the program's options in form of an array of UOption structures.
 * Each UOption defines a long and a short name (a string and a character)
 * for options like "--foo" and "-f".
 *
 * Each option is marked with whether it does not take an argument,
 * requires one, or optionally takes one. The argument may follow in
 * the same argv[] entry for short options, or it may always follow
 * in the next argv[] entry.
 *
 * An argument is in the next argv[] entry for both long and short name
 * options, except it is taken from directly behind the short name in
 * its own argv[] entry if there are characters following the option letter.
 * An argument in its own argv[] entry must not begin with a '-'
 * unless it is only the '-' itself. There is no restriction of the
 * argument format if it is part of the short name options's argv[] entry.
 *
 * The argument is stored in the value field of the corresponding
 * UOption entry, and the doesOccur field is set to 1 if the option
 * is found at all.
 *
 * Short name options without arguments can be collapsed into a single
 * argv[] entry. After an option letter takes an argument, following
 * letters will be taken as its argument.
 *
 * If the same option is found several times, then the last
 * argument value will be stored in the value field.
 *
 * For each option, a function can be called. This could be used
 * for options that occur multiple times and all arguments are to
 * be collected.
 *
 * All options are removed from the argv[] array itself. If the parser
 * is successful, then it returns the number of remaining non-option
 * strings (including argv[0]).
 * argv[0], the program name, is never read or modified.
 *
 * An option "--" ends option processing; everything after this
 * remains in the argv[] array.
 *
 * An option string "-" alone is treated as a non-option.
 *
 * If an option is not recognized or an argument missing, then
 * the parser returns with the negative index of the argv[] entry
 * where the error was detected.
 *
 * The OS/400 compiler requires that argv either be "char* argv[]",
 * or "const char* const argv[]", and it will not accept, 
 * "const char* argv[]" as a definition for main().
 *
 * @param argv This parameter is modified
 * @param options This parameter is modified
