[Bug libc/4116] getopt_long does *not* return (or indicate in any way) error condition (if occured) to programmer.

------- Additional Comments From edvotsyivj at datatech dot ru  2007-03-01 14:54 -------
Though "getopt_long" points to an option in question in case of errors:

3) option doesn't allow an argument
4) option requires an argument

... by setting "optopt" variable, but leaves it's "longind" parameter untouched.
 This cause programmer either scan "longopts" array, or build one more
"switch(...)" to find the option in question.

So, "getopt_long" should be fixed to set "longind"
