* Parse next short option in `argv`.
*
* Elements in `argv` that contain short options start with a single dash
* followed by one or more option characters, and optionally an option
* argument for the last option character. Examples are '`-d`', '`-ofile`',
* and '`-dofile`'.
*
* Consecutive calls to this function match the command-line arguments in
* `argv` against the short option characters in `optstring`.
*
* If an option character in `optstring` is followed by a colon, '`:`', the
* option requires an argument. If it is followed by two colons, the option
* may take an optional argument.
*
* If a match is found, `optarg` points to the option argument, if any, and
* the value of the option character is returned.
*
* If a match is found, but is missing a required option argument, `optopt`
* is set to the option character. If the first character in `optstring` is
* '`:`', then '`:`' is returned, otherwise '`?`' is returned.
*
* If no option character in `optstring` matches a short option, `optopt`
* is set to the option character, and '`?`' is returned.
*
* If an element of argv does not contain options (a nonoption element),
* `optarg` points to the element, and `1` is returned.
*
* An element consisting of a single dash, '`-`', is returned as a nonoption.
*
* Parsing stops and `-1` is returned, when the end of `argv` is reached, or
* if an element contains '`--`'.
*
* Works similarly to `getopt`, if `optstring` were prefixed by '`-`'.
*
* @param ps pointer to state
* @param argc number of elements in `argv`
* @param argv array of pointers to command-line arguments
* @param optstring string containing option characters

/**
* Parse next long or short option in `argv`.
*
* Elements in `argv` that contain a long option start with two dashes
* followed by a string, and optionally an equal sign and an option argument.
* Examples are '`--help`' and '`--size=5`'.
*
* If no exact match is found, an unambiguous prefix of a long option will
* match. For example, if '`foo`' and '`foobar`' are valid long options, then
* '`--fo`' is ambiguous and will not match, '`--foo`' matches exactly, and
* '`--foob`' is an unambiguous prefix and will match.
*
* If a long option match is found, and `flag` is `NULL`, `val` is returned.
*
* If a long option match is found, and `flag` is not `NULL`, `val` is stored
* in the variable `flag` points to, and `0` is returned.
*
* If a long option match is found, but is missing a required option argument,
* or has an option argument even though it takes none, `optopt` is set to
* `val` if `flag` is `NULL`, and `0` otherwise. If the first character in
* `optstring` is '`:`', then '`:`' is returned, otherwise '`?`' is returned.
*
* If `longindex` is not `NULL`, the index of the entry in `longopts` that
* matched is stored there.
*
* If no long option in `longopts` matches a long option, '`?`' is returned.
*
* Handling of nonoptions and short options is like `parg_getopt()`.
*
* If no short options are required, an empty string, `""`, should be passed
* as `optstring`.
*
* Works similarly to `getopt_long`, if `optstring` were prefixed by '`-`'.
