# Initial version: March, 1991

# External variables:
#    Optind -- index in ARGV of first nonoption argument
#    Optarg -- string value of argument to current option
#    Opterr -- if nonzero, print our own diagnostic
#    Optopt -- current option letter

# Returns:
#    -1     at end of options
#    "?"    for unrecognized option
#    <c>    a character representing the current option

# Private Data:
#    _opti  -- index in multiflag option, e.g., -abc
