  // = TITLE
  //   Iterator for parsing command-line arguments.
  //
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //    This is a C++ wrapper for getopt(3c).
public:
  ACE_Get_Opt (int argc,
               ASYS_TCHAR **argv,
               const ASYS_TCHAR *optstring,
               int skip_argv0 = 1,
               int report_errors = 0);
  // Initialize the internal data when the first call is made.  Start
  // processing options with <argv>-element 0 + <skip_argv0>; the
  // sequence of previously skipped non-option <argv>-elements is
  // empty.
  //
  // <optstring> is a string containing the legitimate option
  // characters.  A colon in <optstring> means that the previous
  // character is an option that wants an argument.  The argument is
  // taken from the rest of the current <argv>-element, or from the
  // following <argv>-element, and returned in <optarg>.
  //
  // If an option character is seen that is not listed in <optstring>,
  // return '?' after printing an error message.  If you set <opterr>
  // to zero, the error message is suppressed but we still return '?'.
  //
  // If a char in <optstring> is followed by a colon, that means it
  // wants an arg, so the following text in the same <argv>-element,
  // or the text of the following <argv>-element, is returned in
  // <optarg>.

  ~ACE_Get_Opt (void);
  // Default dtor.

  int operator () (void);
  // Scan elements of <argv> (whose length is <argc>) for option
  // characters given in <optstring>.
  //
  // If an element of <argv> starts with '-', and is not exactly "-"
  // or "--", then it is an option element.  The characters of this
  // element (aside from the initial '-') are option characters.  If
  // <operator()> is called repeatedly, it returns successively each
  // of the option characters from each of the option elements.
  //
  // If <operator()> finds another option character, it returns that
  // character, updating <optind> and <nextchar> so that the next call
  // to <operator()> can resume the scan with the following option
  // character or <argv>-element.
  //
  // If there are no more option characters, <operator()> returns
  // <EOF>.  Then <optind> is the index in <argv> of the first
  // <argv>-element that is not an option.  (The <argv>-elements have
  // been permuted so that those that are not options now come last.)

  // = Public data members (should be hidden...).

  // value is returned here.

  // Index in <argv> of the next element to be scanned.  This is used
  // for communication to and from the caller and for communication
  // between successive calls to <operator()>.  On entry to
  // <operator()>, zero means this is the first call; initialize.
  //
  // When <get_opt> returns <EOF>, this is the index of the first of
  // the non-option elements that the caller should itself scan.
  //
  // Otherwise, <optind> communicates from one call to the next how
  // much of <argv> has been scanned so far.

  int opterr;
  // Callers store zero here to inhibit the error message for
  // unrecognized options.

  // Holds the <argc> count.

  ASYS_TCHAR *nextchar_;

  // last option character we returned was found.  This allows us to
  // pick up the scan where we left off.

  // If this is zero, or a null string, it means resume the scan
  // by advancing to the next <argv>-element.
