Find the option identifier of a long option.Fill info_buf appropriately, and return the option identifier.argv[info_buf-opt_index]> is guaranteed to have at least three characters and start with --.

static int longopt_get_shortopt

Find the option identifier of the next short option.This next short option may be in the middle of a bundle (-abcd), and info_buf->_shortopt_pos maintains a pointer into that bundle.argv[info_buf->opt_index] is guaranteed to be at least two characters long and start with a dash.
