7.5.1.4 User Presentation Attributes

Attributes that affect the user’s experience.

allow-errors

The presence of this attribute indicates ignoring any command line option errors. This may also be turned on and off by invoking the macros ERRSKIP_OPTERR and ERRSTOP_OPTERR from the generated interface file.

long-opts

Presence indicates GNU-standard long option processing. If any options do not have an option value (flag character) specified, and least one does specify such a value, then you must specify long-opts. If none of your options specify an option value (flag character) and you do not specify long-opts, then command line arguments are processed in "named option mode". This means that:

no-xlate

Modifies when or whether option names get translated. If provided, it must be assigned one of two values:

opt-cfg

to suppress option name translation for configuration file and and environment variable processing.

opt

to suppress option name translation completely. The usage text will always be translated if ENABLE_NLS is defined and you have translations for that text.

See also the various “XLAT” interface entries in the AutoOpts Programmatic Interface section (see section Programmatic Interface).

reorder-args

Normally, POSIX compliant commands do not allow for options to be interleaved with operands. If this is necessary for historical reasons, there are two approaches available:

resettable

Specifies that the --reset-option command line option is to be supported. This makes it possible to suppress any setting that might be found in a configuration file or environment variable.
