On my FreeBSD 2.2.8 system I see in /usr/include/stdlib.h
#if !defined(_ANSI_SOURCE) && !defined(_POSIX_SOURCE)
[...snip...]
extern char *optarg; /* getopt(3) external variables */
extern int opterr, optind, optopt;
int getopt __P((int, char * const *, const char *));
Nevertheless manpage getopt(3) says:
[...snip...]
EXTENSIONS
The optreset variable was added to make it possible to call the
getopt() function multiple times. This is an extension to the
IEEE Std1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') specification.
If getopt(3) is Posix - why doesn't it compile if
one defines _POSIX_SOURCE? Is this a bug or a feature?
TIA,
Martin
