 *  argparse option
 *
 *  `type`:
 *    holds the type of the option, you must have an ARGPARSE_OPT_END last in your
 *    array.
 *
 *  `short_name`:
 *    the character to use as a short option name, '\0' if none.
 *
 *  `long_name`:
 *    the long option name, without the leading dash, NULL if none.
 *
 *  `value`:
 *    stores pointer to the value to be filled.
 *
 *  `help`:
 *    the short help message associated to what the option does.
 *    Must never be NULL (except for ARGPARSE_OPT_END).
 *
 *  `callback`:
 *    function is called when corresponding argument is parsed.
 *
 *  `data`:
 *    associated data. Callbacks can use it like they want.
 *
 *  `flags`:
 *    option flags.
