getopt is not supported under the POSIX standard and has been deprecated on many 
(most? certainly IRIX and DECUnix) Unix platforms. Therefore it isn't support 
under cygwin32. It has been replaced by getopts. The functionality is the same 
though getopts is somewhat easier to use.

Hi,

Does mingw32 have getopt in its libraries? I am having trouble compiling
code using getopt with mingw32.
 Also, could not find getopt function call man page in the online tech
reference, any reason that its not there?

Thanks in advance.

- Narayan
