[cfarm-users] getopt on AIX

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I'm testing on gcc119, which is the AIX ppc64be machine. One of the
source files fails to compile (see below).

According to the getopt(3) man page, the function is available. The
man page says the only include needed is <unistd.h>.

I don't use getopt for my programs so I don't have much experience with it.

Any ideas how to use getopt(3) on AIX?

Thanks in advance.
