typedef enum {
XrmoptionNoArg, /* Value is specified in XrmOptionDescRec.value */

XrmOptionDescRec.value arguments in argv */

Note that XrmoptionSkipArg is equivalent to XrmoptionSkipNArgs with the XrmOptionDescRec.value field containing the value one. Note also that the value zero for XrmoptionSkipNArgs indicates that only the option itself is to be skipped.
