<listitem>
<para>
The <parameter>options</parameter> parameter may contain the following
elements: individual characters, and characters followed by a colon to
indicate an option argument is to follow. For example, an option string
<literal>x</literal> recognizes an option <literal>-x</literal>, and an
option string <literal>x:</literal> recognizes an option and argument
<literal>-x argument</literal>. It does not matter if an argument has
leading white space.
</para>
<simpara>
Each character in this string will be used as option characters and
matched against options passed to the script starting with a single
hyphen (<literal>-</literal>).
</simpara>
<simpara>
For example, an option string <literal>"x"</literal> recognizes an
option <literal>-x</literal>.

An array of options. Each element in this array will be used as option
strings and matched against options passed to the script starting with
two hyphens (<literal>--</literal>).
</simpara>

For example, an longopts element <literal>"opt"</literal> recognizes an
option <literal>--opt</literal>.

The <parameter>options</parameter> parameter may contain the following
elements:
<simplelist>
<member>Individual characters (do not accept values)</member>
<member>Characters followed by a colon (parameter requires value)</member>
<member>Characters followed by two colons (optional value)</member>
</simplelist>
Option values are the first argument after the string. It does not matter
if a value has leading white space or not.

Optional values do not accept <literal>" "</literal> (space) as a seperator.

<note>
<para>
The format for the <parameter>options</parameter> and
<parameter>longopts</parameter> is almost the same, the only difference is
that <parameter>longopts</parameter> takes an array of options (where each
element is the option) where as <parameter>options</parameter> takes a
string (where each character is the option).
