getopt is only specified to modify optopt on error, and some software apparently infers an error from optopt!=0. getopt_long is changed analogously. the resulting behavior differs slightly from the behavior of the GNU implementation of getopt_long, which keeps an internal shadow copy of optopt and copies it to the public one on return, but since the GNU implementation also exhibits this shadow-copy behavior for plain getopt where is is non-conforming, I think this can reasonably be considered a bug rather than an intentional behavior that merits mimicing.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
