+
+<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
+
+ These macros assume the names <i>argc</i> and <i>argv</i> are in scope; see
+ <a href="../man3/exec.html"><i>exec</i>(3)</a>. <i>ARGBEGIN</i> and <i>ARGEND</i> surround code for processing program
+ options. The code should be the cases of a C switch on option
+ characters; it is executed once for each option character. Options
+ end after an argument <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;&#8722;</font></tt>, before an argument <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;</font></tt>, or
+ before an argument that doesn&#8217;t begin with <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;</font></tt>.
+ <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
+
+ The function macro <i>ARGC</i> returns the current option character,
+ as an integer.
+ <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
+
+ The function macro <i>ARGF</i> returns the current option argument: a
+ pointer to the rest of the option string if not empty, or the
+ next argument in <i>argv</i> if any, or 0. <i>ARGF</i> must be called just once
+ for each option that takes an argument. The macro <i>EARGF</i> is like
+ <i>ARGF</i> but instead of returning zero runs <i>code</i> and, if that
+ returns, calls <a href="../man3/abort.html"><i>abort</i>(3)</a>. A typical value for <i>code</i> is <tt><font size=+1>usage()</font></tt>,
+ as in <tt><font size=+1>EARGF(usage())</font></tt>.
+ <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
+
+ After <i>ARGBEGIN</i>, <i>argv0</i> is a copy of <tt><font size=+1>argv[0]</font></tt> (conventionally the
+ name of the program).
+ <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
+
+ After <i>ARGEND</i>, <i>argv</i> points at a zero-terminated list of the remaining
+ <i>argc</i> arguments.<br>
