Subject: [PATCH] Fix handling of ? option
Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2019 20:45:29 +0200

Using optind to check back the original given option this way is bogus
and could lead to dereferencing argv out of bounds with a missing
argument to an option.

The proper way to verify if an error has occured is to check if optopt
has been set.
