@{
Pascal declarations of the GPC Run Time System that are visible to
each program.

This unit contains Pascal declarations of many RTS routines which
are not built into the compiler and can be called from programs.
Don't copy the declarations from this unit into your programs, but
rather include this unit with a @samp{uses} statement. The reason is that
the internal declarations, e.g. the @samp{asmnames}, may change, and this
unit will be changed accordingly. @@@@In the future, this unit might
be included into every program automatically, so there will be no
need for a @samp{uses} statement to make the declarations here available.

Note about @samp{protected var} parameters:
Since const parameters in GPC may be passed by value *or* by
reference internally, possibly depending on the system, @samp{const foo*}
parameters to C functions *cannot* reliably declared as @samp{const} in
Pascal. However, Extended Pascal's @samp{protected var} can be used since
this guarantees passing by reference.

@{
  Parses command line arguments for options and returns the next
  one.

  If a command line argument starts with @samp{-}, and is not exactly @samp{-}
  or @samp{--}, then it is an option element. The characters of this
  element (aside from the initial @samp{-}) are option characters. If
  @samp{GetOpt} is called repeatedly, it returns successively each of the
  option characters from each of the option elements.

  If @samp{GetOpt} finds another option character, it returns that
  character, updating @samp{FirstNonOption} and internal variables so
  that the next call to @samp{GetOpt} can resume the scan with the
  following option character or command line argument.

  If there are no more option characters, @samp{GetOpt} returns
  EndOfOptions. Then @samp{FirstNonOption} is the index of the first
  command line argument that is not an option. (The command line
  arguments have been permuted so that those that are not options
  now come last.)

  OptString must be of the form @samp{[+|-]abcd:e:f:g::h::i::}.

  a, b, c are options without arguments
  d, e, f are options with required arguments
  g, h, i are options with optional arguments

  Arguments are text following the option character in the same
  command line argument, or the text of the following command line
  argument. They are returned in OptionArgument. If an option has no
  argument, OptionArgument is empty. The variable HasOptionArgument
  tells whether an option has an argument. This is mostly useful for
  options with optional arguments, if one wants to distinguish an
  empty argument from no argument.

  If the first character of OptString is @samp{+}, GetOpt stops at the
  first non-option argument.

  If it is @samp{-}, GetOpt treats non-option arguments as options and
  return NoOption for them.

  Otherwise, GetOpt permutes arguments and handles all options,
  leaving all non-options at the end. However, if the environment
  variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, the default behaviour is to stop
  at the first non-option argument, as with @samp{+}.

  The special argument @samp{--} forces an end of option-scanning
  regardless of the first character of OptString. In the case of
  @samp{-}, only @samp{--} can cause GetOpt to return EndOfOptions with
  FirstNonOption <= ParamCount.

  If an option character is seen that is not listed in OptString,
  UnknownOption is returned. The unrecognized option character is
  stored in UnknownOptionCharacter. Unless GetOptErrorFlag is set to
  False, an error message is printed to StdErr automatically.

  end;

@{
  Recognize short options, described by OptString as above, and long
  options, described by LongOptions.

  Long-named options begin with @samp{--} instead of @samp{-}. Their names may
  be abbreviated as long as the abbreviation is unique or is an
  exact match for some defined option. If they have an argument, it
  follows the option name in the same argument, separated from the
  option name by a @samp{=}, or else the in next argument. When GetOpt
  finds a long-named option, it returns LongOption if that option's
  @samp{Flag} field is non-nil, and the value of the option's @samp{V} field
  if the @samp{Flag} field is nil.

  LongIndex, if not null, returns the index in LongOptions of the
  long-named option found. It is only valid when a long-named option
  has been found by the most recent call.

  If LongOnly is set, @samp{-} as well as @samp{--} can indicate a long
  option. If an option that starts with @samp{-} (not @samp{--}) doesn't match
  a long option, but does match a short option, it is parsed as a
  short option instead. If an argument has the form @samp{-f}, where f is
  a valid short option, don't consider it an abbreviated form of a
  long option that starts with @samp{f}. Otherwise there would be no way
  to give the @samp{-f} short option. On the other hand, if there's a
  long option @samp{fubar} and the argument is @samp{-fu}, do consider that an
  abbreviation of the long option, just like @samp{--fu}, and not @samp{-f}
  with argument @samp{u}. This distinction seems to be the most useful
  approach.

  As an additional feature (not present in the C counterpart), if
  the last character of OptString is @samp{-} (after a possible starting
  @samp{+} or @samp{-} character), or OptString is empty, all long options
  with a nil @samp{Flag} field will automatically be recognized as short
  options with the character given by the @samp{V} field. This means, in
  the common (and recommended) case that all short options have long
  equivalents, you can simply pass an empty OptString (or pass @samp{+-}
  or @samp{--} as OptString if you want this behaviour, see the comment
  for GetOpt), and you will only have to maintain the LongOptions
  array when you add or change options.

  PExecute: execute a program.

  Program and Arguments are the arguments to execv/execvp.

  Flags and PExecute_Search is non-zero if $PATH should be searched
  (It's not clear that GCC passes this flag correctly). Flags and
  PExecute_First is nonzero for the first process in chain. Flags
  and PExecute_Last is nonzero for the last process in chain.

  The result is the pid on systems like Unix where we fork/exec and
  on systems like MS-Windows and OS2 where we use spawn. It is up to
  the caller to wait for the child.

  The result is the exit code on systems like MSDOS where we spawn
  and wait for the child here.

  Upon failure, ErrMsg is set to the text of the error message,
  and -1 is returned. @samp{errno} is available to the caller to use.

  PWait: cover function for wait.

  PID is the process id of the task to wait for. Status is the
  @samp{status} argument to wait. Flags is currently unused (allows
  future enhancement without breaking upward compatibility). Pass 0
  for now.

  The result is the process ID of the child reaped, or -1 for
  failure.

  On systems that don't support waiting for a particular child, PID
  is ignored. On systems like MSDOS that don't really multitask
  PWait is just a mechanism to provide a consistent interface for
  the caller.

  an event occurs. The Events parameter can be null, in which case
  the function only waits for the timeout. If any of the file
  pointers (f) in Events are nil or the files pointed to are closed,
  they are simply ignored for convenience.

  It returns the index of one of the files for which any event has

  a BlockRead with 4 parameters, the last parameter will be 0 if and
  only the file is at EOF, and otherwise, data will be read directly
  from the file without reading ahead and buffering.

  SelectAlways should be set for files for which events are

  Define constants for different systems:

  OSDosFlag:         flag to indicate whether the target system is
                     Dos

  QuotingCharacter:  the character used to quote wild cards and
                     other special characters (#0 if not available)

  PathSeparator:     the separator of multiple paths, e.g. in the
                     PATH environment variable

  DirSeparator:      the separator of the directories within a full
                     file name

  DirSeparators:     a set of all possible directory and drive name
                     separators

  ExtSeparator:      the separator of a file name extension

  DirRoot:           the name of the root directory

  DirSelf:           the name of a directory in itself

  DirParent:         the name of the parent directory

  NullDeviceName:    the full file name of the null device

  TTYDeviceName:     the full file name of the current TTY

  ConsoleDeviceName: the full file name of the system console. On
                     Dos systems, this is the same as the TTY, but
                     on systems that allow remote login, this is a
                     different thing and may reach a completely
                     different user than the one running the
                     program, so use with care.

  EnvVarCharsFirst:  the characters accepted at the beginning of the
                     name of an environment variable without quoting

  EnvVarChars:       the characters accepted in the name of an
                     environment variable without quoting

  PathEnvVar:        the name of the environment variable which
                     (usually) contains the executable search path

  ShellEnvVar:       the name of the environment variable which
                     (usually) contains the path of the shell
                     executable (see GetShellPath)

  ShellExecCommand:  the option to the (default) shell to execute
                     the command specified in the following argument
                     (see GetShellPath)
