CONFIG_GETOPT_LONG

Getopt long library support

Type: bool

Help

This option adds support of the getopt long.
Different shell backends are using their own instance of getopt to
not interfere with each other.
All not shell threads share one global instance of getopt state, hence
apart from shell this library is not thread safe. User can add support
for other threads by extending function getopt_state_get in
getopt_common.c file.

Direct dependencies

GETOPT

(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)

Defaults

No defaults. Implicitly defaults to n.

Kconfig definition

At <Library>/posix/getopt/Kconfig:17

Included via Kconfig:8 → Kconfig.zephyr:43 → <Library>/Kconfig:12 → <Library>/posix/Kconfig:4
