I don't care to do the searching for you, nor discuss any of this,
in particular because you are distracting from your actual getopt(3)
concern with random sidesteps.  And that's already one more reason that
I've given than you've deserved.

Let's stick to the technical discussion.

No it isn't, that is another of your distractions.

The explanations about const are all there and you haven't yet clarified
your concern about const-ness of the argv pointers in said getopt argument.

I don't care about policies, standardization, affiliations, unless you
document the technical concern that you see in the const in getopt()'s
"char * const argv[]" argument.  And before that happens I'm not even
interested in a pseudo-technical discussion.

Try comp.lang.c for a change.
