#' C-like getopt behavior
#'
#' getopt is primarily intended to be used with ``\link{Rscript}''. It
#' facilitates writing ``\#!'' shebang scripts that accept short and long
#' flags/options. It can also be used from ``R'' directly, but is probably less
#' useful in this context.
#'
#' getopt() returns a \link{list} data structure containing \link{names} of the
#' flags that were present in the \link{character} \link{vector} passed in under
#' the \emph{opt} argument. Each value of the \link{list} is coerced to the
#' data type specified according to the value of the \emph{spec} argument. See
#' below for details.
#'
#' Notes on naming convention:
#'
#' 1. An \emph{option} is one of the shell-split input strings.
#'
#' 2. A \emph{flag} is a type of \emph{option}. a \emph{flag} can be defined as
#' having no \emph{argument} (defined below), a required \emph{argument}, or an
#' optional \emph{argument}.
#'
#' 3. An \emph{argument} is a type of \emph{option}, and is the value associated
#' with a flag.
#'
#' 4. A \emph{long flag} is a type of \emph{flag}, and begins with the string
#' ``--''. If the \emph{long flag} has an associated \emph{argument}, it may be
#' delimited from the \emph{long flag} by either a trailing \emph{=}, or may be
#' the subsequent \emph{option}.
#'
#' 5. A \emph{short flag} is a type of \emph{flag}, and begins with the string
#' ``-''. If a \emph{short flag} has an associated \emph{argument}, it is the
#' subsequent \emph{option}. \emph{short flags} may be bundled together,
#' sharing a single leading ``-'', but only the final \emph{short flag} is able
#' to have a corresponding \emph{argument}.
#'
#' Many users wonder whether they should use the getopt package, optparse package,
#' or argparse package.
#' Here is some of the major differences:
#'
#' Features available in \code{getopt} unavailable in \code{optparse}
#'
#' 1. As well as allowing one to specify options that take either
#' no argument or a required argument like \code{optparse},
#' \code{getopt} also allows one to specify option with an optional argument.
#'
#' Some features implemented in \code{optparse} package unavailable in \code{getopt}
#'
#' 1. Limited support for capturing positional arguments after the optional arguments
#' when \code{positional_arguments} set to TRUE in \code{parse_args}
#'
#' 2. Automatic generation of an help option and printing of help text when encounters an "-h"
#'
#' 3. Option to specify default arguments for options as well the
#' variable name to store option values
#'
#' There is also new package \code{argparse} introduced in 2012 which contains
#' all the features of both getopt and optparse but which has a dependency on
#' Python 2.7 or 3.2+ and has not been used in production since 2008 or 2009
#' like the getopt and optparse packages.
#'
#' Some Features unlikely to be implemented in \code{getopt}:
#'
#' 1. Support for multiple, identical flags, e.g. for "-m 3 -v 5 -v", the
#' trailing "-v" overrides the preceding "-v 5", result is v=TRUE (or equivalent
#' typecast).
#'
#' 2. Support for multi-valued flags, e.g. "--libpath=/usr/local/lib
#' --libpath=/tmp/foo".
#'
#' 3. Support for lists, e.g. "--define os=linux --define os=redhat" would
#' set result$os$linux=TRUE and result$os$redhat=TRUE.
#'
#' 4. Support for incremental, argument-less flags, e.g. "/path/to/script
#' -vvv" should set v=3.
#'
#' 5. Support partial-but-unique string match on options, e.g. "--verb" and
#' "--verbose" both match long flag "--verbose".
#'
#' 6. No support for mixing in positional arguments or extra arguments that
#' don't match any options. For example, you can't do "my.R --arg1 1 foo bar
#' baz" and recover "foo", "bar", "baz" as a list. Likewise for "my.R foo
#' --arg1 1 bar baz".
#'
#' @aliases getopt getopt-package
#' @param spec The getopt specification, or spec of what options are considered
#' valid. The specification must be either a 4-5 column \link{matrix}, or a
#' \link{character} \link{vector} coercible into a 4 column \link{matrix} using
#' \link{matrix}(x,ncol=4,byrow=TRUE) command. The \link{matrix}/\link{vector}
#' contains:
#'
#' Column 1: the \emph{long flag} name. A multi-\link{character} string.
#'
#' Column 2: \emph{short flag} alias of Column 1. A single-\link{character}
#' string.
#'
#' Column 3: \emph{Argument} mask of the \emph{flag}. An \link{integer}.
#' Possible values: 0=no argument, 1=required argument, 2=optional argument.
#'
#' Column 4: Data type to which the \emph{flag}'s argument shall be cast using
#' \link{storage.mode}. A multi-\link{character} string. This only considered
#' for same-row Column 3 values of 1,2. Possible values: \link{logical},
#' \link{integer}, \link{double}, \link{complex}, \link{character}.
#' If \link{numeric} is encountered then it will be converted to double.
#'
#' Column 5 (optional): A brief description of the purpose of the option.
#'
#' The terms \emph{option}, \emph{flag}, \emph{long flag}, \emph{short flag},
#' and \emph{argument} have very specific meanings in the context of this
#' document. Read the ``Description'' section for definitions.
#' @param opt This defaults to the return value of \link{commandArgs}(TRUE).
#'
#' If R was invoked directly via the ``R'' command, this corresponds to all
#' arguments passed to R after the ``--args'' flag.
#'
#' If R was invoked via the ``\link{Rscript}'' command, this corresponds to all
#' arguments after the name of the R script file.
#'
#' Read about \link{commandArgs} and \link{Rscript} to learn more.
#' @param command The string to use in the usage message as the name of the
#' script. See argument \emph{usage}.
#' @param usage If TRUE, argument \emph{opt} will be ignored and a usage
#' statement (character string) will be generated and returned from \emph{spec}.
#' @param debug This is used internally to debug the getopt() function itself.
