Re: Shouldn't getopt_long() return : here?

const char *short_options = "";

This is your problem. You need to have ':' as the first character in short_options, if you want the behavior you describe. (Also, if you plan to handle errors -- including printing the error message yourself -- you need to set the global variable opterr to 0)


So, you need
    const char *short_options = ":";
    /* opterr = 0; */ /* maybe */
