+/* This is a poor simulacrum of python's argparse library. To use, create an arguments struct, including an array of
+ * argument elements, and pass the struct (along with argv+argc) to options_parse(). This is one-shot argument parsing:
+ * you must set pointers for *argument and *flag in each option to receive the results of the argument parsing.
+ *
+ * Currently does not support:
+ * non-string arguments
+ * default values
+ * relationships between arguments
+ * detecting meaningless option configurations
+ *
+ * Example arguments:
+ * static struct argument options[] = {
+ * { .shortname='p', .longname="perfcounters", .flag=&perfCounters, .flagval=true, .description="Print performance counters"},
+ * { .longname="test", .flag=&test, .flagval=true, .description="test long option"},
+ * { .command="resync", .flag=&resync, .flagval=true, .description="Initiate a resync"},
+ * { .positional_name="positional", .positional_optional=false, .argument=&position, .description = "Positional argument" },
+ * { .shortname='a', .longname="asdf", .argname="number", .argument=&asdf, .description = "Long arg with argument" },
+ * };
+ *
+ * static struct arguments args = {
+ * .programname="testctl",
+ * .description="Control and report",
+ * .arguments = options,
+ * };
+ *
+ * Note: this library automatically adds a '-h' and a '--help' operation. Don't try to override this.
