<getopt.h> library in windows

[mornin]

Hi all,

I have encounter some codes that include <getopt.h> library. I guess it is a library under linux enviroment. However, I am using Windows and I want to compile the codes using Visual C++. Is there a counterpart of this library for VC?

Hope some one can help.
