	The implementation can completely replace
	.Xr getopt 3 ,
	but right now we are using separate code.
	+.Pp
	+.Nm
	+makes the assumption that the first argument should always be skipped because
	+it's typically the program name.
	+As a result, setting
	+.Va optind
	+to 0 will indicate that
	+.Nm
	+should reset, and
	+.Va optind
	+will be set to 1 in the process.
	+This behavior differs from
	+.Xr getopt 3 ,
	+which will handle an
	+.Va optind
	+value of 0 as expected and process the first element.
