Subject: [PATCH] iptables: fix longopt reecognition and workaround getopt(3) behavior
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 13:28:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1289824097-27337-2-git-send-email-jengelh@medozas.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1289824097-27337-1-git-send-email-jengelh@medozas.de>
* On the first call to getopt, opts was NULL, so long options would
not be recognized until a match/target was loaded.
Whacky getopt behavior:
* If the longopts parameter is NULL, getopt fails to recognize unknown
options, such that `iptables-multi main --append` will print a garbage
help message ("main needs an argument").
* If the longopts parameter is NULL on the first call, but not on
subsequent calls, it completely screws up option parsing, taking
the --dport in `iptables-multi main -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1000`
as --destination instead, but not accepting "--destination 1.2.3.4"
either.
