getopt(3) is IMHO not optimally designed. One thing that especially frustrates me is the artificial distinction between long and short options. Imagine:

Dangerous option : -d
Harmless option  : --d

It is very easy to accidentally miss a single '-'. I have fixed this design flaw by removing the concept of long options. They are all long in argopt(3) but they only have a singe '-' in front of them.
