[PATCH 06/14] parse-options: avoid magic return codes

From
Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com>
Date
Jan 27, 2019, 00:35 UTC
Message-ID
<20190127003535.28341-7-pclouds@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<20190127003535.28341-1-pclouds@gmail.com>

Give names to these magic negative numbers. Make parse_opt_ll_cb return an enum to make clear it can actually control parse_options() with different return values (parse_opt_cb can too, but nobody needs it).
