As I suggested previously, you could possibly improve your comment before (by providing a verifiable source), but it would be pointless, since the point you were attempting to

Thu Apr 27 13:52:32 1995 bostic * getopt.c 8.3 POSIX.2 has changed getopt to return -1 instead of EOF (to decouple getopt() from standard i/o). This change is more pedantic than functional as EOF is defined to be -1. Also, POSIX.2 says that getopt lives in

How did this article come to be flagged as having a header section which does not adequately summarise the contents? Did somebody add it or is it based on some ratio of header size to article size? Anyway I have been thinking about how it might be improved but have not come up with anything as the

As interesting as the debate about the
Solaris documentation is, given this function has been standardised by POSIX it seems right that the article should concentrate on the POSIX standard version. Though there would be no harm in noting implementation difference this should be after having
733:
Regarding methods to avoid include files, this is indeed a goal for POSIX and the typical error indication on UNIX is return -1. Only stdio is an exception and getopt() is not related to stdio. Also note that SUSv2 (from 1997) mentions -1 as return code for getopt() errors.

You again verified that you still have to learn how
Knowledge works... I of course provided a verifiable source as I identified the document that you need to read. It is your duty to get hold of that document since verifiable sources do not need to exist in the internet.

in POSIX is the appropriate place to start from, rather than a couple of unverifiable statements. Even if you find a verifiable source (for
Solaris 9), the existing one for Solaris 9 says that Sun had not modified this detail as of 6 years after Bostic's comment.
836:
In order to give different
Vendors equal chances, we need to either remove the GNU getopt related example in the article, or add an example that helps to understand the OpenSolaris enhancements for long options.
621:-1 is the return value document by POSIX; EOF was historically documented by many platforms, e.g. 4.3BSD, Solaris 2.9. Since EOF is guaranteed to be -ve the portable approach is to write 'getopt(...) : -->
153:
851:
With reference to the above it seems to me to be a backward step to remove the GNU example. If you or someone familiar with
Solaris were to add a Solaris example then surely just go ahead and add it.

purpose of getopt is fundamentally simple even if the details of its use are slightly less simple. Does anyone else have any ideas here or could we just remove that flag?

The so called quoted
Solaris 9 documentation from above is outdated. The official man page for Solaris 9 says: "Last change: 13 Sep 2002" and does not mention EOF.
