[Bro-Dev] [JIRA] (BIT-1436) Put back the --help option to bro-cut

[Justin Azoff (JIRA)]

    [ https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1436?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=21301#comment-21301 ] 

Justin Azoff commented on BIT-1436:
-----------------------------------

bro-cut needs to use getopt_long to add support for --help back in.

I see that bro ships with src/bsd-getopt-long.c for platforms that do not have it.. does anyone know the history behind this?  I'm not sure if this should be imported into the bro-cut repository as well, or just assume that it is already present on all supported platforms.

in the meantime I will at least get the underlying issue fixed.
