#### PLOptionTable: PLplot command line options table structure

The PLOptionTable structure is used by `plMergeOpts` to pass information on user-defined command line options to PLplot. The structure contains the following fields:

`opt` (`PLCHAR_VECTOR`)

  Name of option.

`handler` (`int (*func) (PLCHAR_VECTOR, PLCHAR_VECTOR, PLPointer)`)

  User-defined handler function to be called when option is set. A NULL value indicates that no user-defined handler is required.

`client_data` (`PLPointer`)

  A pointer to client data. A NULL value indicates that no client data is required.

`var` (`PLPointer`)

  A pointer to a variable to be set to the value specified on the command-line option.

`mode` (`long`)

  Type of variable `var`. Allowed values are PL_OPT_FUNC, PL_OPT_BOOL, PL_OPT_INT, PL_OPT_FLOAT, PL_OPT_STRING.

`syntax` (`PLCHAR_VECTOR`)

  Syntax for option (used in the usage message).

`desc` (`PLCHAR_VECTOR`)

  Description of the option (used in the usage message).
