I'm trying to use '?' as a short option character, since I've used -h

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be allowed. Is there a work
around for this?
gengetopt:6: syntax error ?
gengetopt:6: option "help" ? "Show help information"
gengetopt:6: ^
make: *** [cmdline.h] Error 1
Hi John
It looks like getopt_long uses ? for its own purposes, see the man page:
If getopt() does not recognize an option character, it
prints an error message to stderr, stores the character in
optopt, and returns `?'. The calling program may prevent
the error message by setting opterr to 0.
so probably, I don't know whether it is possible to do this...
any clue anyone?
