Description
The other day I was trying to figure out how to modify things to use long options with getopt_long(3C). There were a couple of things I found that was a bit implicit to folks. In particular it's useful to clarify how you have an option that's only short, an option that's only long, and an option that's both short and long.
I tested this by looking at the new page with man(1) and then I also took the new example code and copy and pasted it into a new C file, built it with all warnings enabled and verified that it worked.
