Rgetopt is a command-line option parsing library for UNIX systems. Currently it has only been tested under Linux. The manual is online.
The source for the latest version is rgetopt-0.8.tar.gz.
You can also look at the CVS repository at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~richardk/cvsweb/rgetopt/.
See the TODO file in the source. If you modify the documentation then you'll need the somewhat crufty rjkdoc-0.5.tar.gz as well.
Bugs fixed: more sensible handling of systems without regexp library; don't read rc files if privileged; seperate object and source directories now work; build on systems where headers generate GCC warnings.
New features: access() called via a callback so you can substitute euidaccess or whatever.
Other: More tests; internal tidying.
