Variable "optind" is used as the last argument of getopt_long(). This
means it "is set to the index of the long option relative to longopts"
(from man page). NULL check is then performed on argv[optind], which is
not valid, because in this case, optind is not an index to argv[].
There is another "optind" which is a global variable, which actually
holds the index to argv[]. This is likely the actual intention here. By
locally define another "optind", the "real optind" is shadowed in this
scope.
Furthermore, the original optind "is the index of the next element to
be processed in argv" (from man page), not the index to the current
element. So doing NULL-check on argv[optind] with the "original optind"
is also not valid.
There is no reason to do this NULL-check, since argv[optind] is not even
read. Only optarg is read, which is never a NULL pointer in this case.
Delete this incorrect and unnecessary "optind".
