[PATCH] iptables: fix longopt reecognition and workaround getopt(3) behavior

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



* 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.
