/* This program uses the same features as example 3, but has more
   options, and somewhat more structure in the -help output.  It
   also shows how you can `steal' the remainder of the input
   arguments past a certain point, for programs that accept a
   list of items.  It also shows the special argp KEY value
   ARGP_KEY_NO_ARGS, which is only given if no non-option
   arguments were supplied to the program.

   For structuring the help output, two features are used,
   *headers* which are entries in the options vector with the
   first four fields being zero, and a two part documentation
   string (in the variable DOC), which allows documentation both
   before and after the options; the two parts of DOC are
   separated by a vertical-tab character ('\v', or '\013').  By
   convention, the documentation before the options is just a
   short string saying what the program does, and that afterwards
   is longer, describing the behavior in more detail.  All
   documentation strings are automatically filled for output,
   although newlines may be included to force a line break at a
   particular point.  All documentation strings are also passed to
   the `gettext' function, for possible translation into the
   current locale.  */
