[PATCH v2] util: Don't stop on unrelated values when looking for --fd in close_open_files() - dev

21 Aug 2024

Seen with krun: we get a file descriptor via --fd, but we close it and
happily use the same number for TCP files.

The issue is that if we also get other options before --fd, with
arguments, getopt_long() stops parsing them because it sees them as
non-option values.

Use the - modifier at the beginning of optstring (before :, which is
needed to avoid printing errors) instead of +, which means we'll
continue parsing after finding unrelated option values, but
getopt_long() won't reorder them anyway: they'll be passed with option
value '1', which we can ignore.

By the way, we also need to add : after F in the optstring, so that
we're able to parse the option when given as short name as well.

Now that we change the parsing mode between close_open_files() and
conf(), we need to reset optind to 0, not to 1, whenever we call
getopt_long() again in conf(), so that the internal initialisation
of getopt_long() evaluating GNU extensions is re-triggered.

Fixes: 09603cab28f9 ("passt, util: Close any open file that the parent might have
leaked")
