Subject: How is done the emulation of 'getopt_long' GNU function?
Precedence: bulk

Hi folks,

One recent project of ours was completed in Linux and made use of getopt_long.

Browsing the DJGPP libc info file, we cannot find its sister for MS-DOS. 

Since a lot of GNU software was ported that has the long options, we are
wondering how were the ports done (emulating the functionality on a case by
case basis, same function with another name, etc.)

TIA
