Like: struct argparse_option options[] = { OPT_HELP(), OPT_GROUP("Basic options"), OPT_BOOLEAN('f', "force", &force, "force to do", NULL, 0, 0), OPT_BOOLEAN('t', "test", &test, "test only", NULL, 0, 0), OPT_STRING('p', "path", &path, "path to read", NULL, 0, 0), OPT_INTEGER('i', "int", &int_num, "selected integer", NULL, 0, 0), OPT_FLOAT('s', "float", &flt_num, "selected float", NULL, 0, 0), OPT_GROUP("Bits options"), OPT_BIT(0, "read", &perms, "read perm", NULL, PERM_READ, OPT_NONEG), OPT_BIT(0, "write", &perms, "write perm", NULL, PERM_WRITE, 0), OPT_BIT(0, "exec", &perms, "exec perm", NULL, PERM_EXEC, 0), OPT_END(), };
