Detailed Description

A structure to hold the description of an application 'option'.

Application 'options' are single-character flags that can be supplied to the application to affect its behavior; they can also optionally accept arguments enclosed in parenthesis.

These structures are used by the ast_app_parse_options function, uses this data to fill in a flags structure (to indicate which options were supplied) and array of argument pointers (for those options that had arguments supplied).
