okay so bestie, this is OPTARG(3POSIX). This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. That's the official source, no cap.

Real talk though: the Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux. It's giving "check your local listing" energy. 💀
