*Getopt long library support*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

.. code-block:: none

    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.
