Hi,
Since release 2.17, there is a "required"/"optional" option that specifies
whether defining option must be given or not.
The current implementation is that if the option is not specified, e.g.,
option "long-opt" - "A long option" long argoptional
then the defining option is considered as mandatory, shown with
"--show-required" with release 2.19:
--long-opt[=LONG] A long option (mandatory)
I just hope that in such case (when no "required"/"optional" is defined),
the defining option is considered optional by default, instead of mandatory.
thanks
tong
PS, my gengetopt:
$ gengetopt --ver
GNU gengetopt 2.19.1
