It seems like it should never be necessary to modify these arrays after
initialization.

This is the main entry point for command line argument parsing.
Parse command line arguments according to structure options,

All output of parsed values is via pointers in options.
Parsing stops at -- (consumed) or at the (k+1)st argument
not starting with -- (a "positional argument") if options contains
k positional argument descriptors.
Returns the index of first non-parsed argument, or -1 in case of error.
