The current option parse code is clumsy.
The 's' option is separately handled in an if-conditional due to the
following code:
input_mode = (enum input_mode)opt;
If 's' is moved to the switch statement, the invalid value 's' would
be assigned to the input_mode.
Another potential problem is that we are mixing 'enum input_mode' and
ASCII characters. They could overwrap if we add more input modes.
To separate them out, set the flag field of long options to a pointer
of input_mode_opt. For mode select options, getopt_long() returns 0,
which never causes overwrap with ASCII characters that represent short
options.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
