GLib.OPTION_REMAINING
Description: Reference for GLib.OPTION_REMAINING

### Constant

# GLibOPTION_REMAINING

#### Declaration

    #define G_OPTION_REMAINING ""

#### Description

If a long option in the main group has this name, it is not treated as a regular option. Instead it collects all non-option arguments which would otherwise be left in `argv`. The option must be of type `G_OPTION_ARG_CALLBACK`, `G_OPTION_ARG_STRING_ARRAY` or `G_OPTION_ARG_FILENAME_ARRAY`.

Using `G_OPTION_REMAINING` instead of simply scanning `argv` for leftover arguments has the advantage that GOption takes care of necessary encoding conversions for strings or filenames.
