/*! \brief The structure that stores the information about the command-line options 

This structure describes a single long option name for the sake of 
gk_getopt_long(). The argument <tt>long_options</tt> must be an array 
of these structures, one for each long option. Terminate the array with 
an element containing all zeros.

  char *name;       /*!< This field is the name of the option. */
  int has_arg;      /*!< This field says whether the option takes an argument. 
                         It is an integer, and there are three legitimate values: 
                         no_argument, required_argument and optional_argument. 
                         */

  int val;          /*!< These fields control how to report or act on the option 
                         when it occurs. 
                         
                         If flag is a null pointer, then the val is a value which 
                         identifies this option. Often these values are chosen 
                         to uniquely identify particular long options.

                         If flag is not a null pointer, it should be the address 
                         of an int variable which is the flag for this option. 
                         The value in val is the value to store in the flag to 
                         indicate that the option was seen. */
