 *            above.
 *       tag: header of message, to identify subsystem originating
 *            the message. It's suggested to use __FILE__ as

 *       fmt: printf-like format string. You must provide enough

 *            otherwise will cause an undefined behaviour, most

 * Side effects:
 *     this function store final message in an intermediate string

 *     is wider than a given amount (TC_BUF_MIN * 2 at moment
 *     of writing), tc_log needs to dinamically allocate some memory.

/*
 * tc_mangle_cmdline:
 *      parse a command line option array looking for a given option.
 *      Given option can be short or long but must be given literally.
 *      So, if you want to mangle "--foobar", give "--foobar" not
 *      "foobar". Same story for short options "-V": use "-V" not "V".
 *      If given option isn't found in string option array, do nothing
 *      and return succesfull (see below). If option is found but
 *      its argument isn't found, don't mangle string options array
 *      but return failure.
 *      If BOTH option and its value is found, store a pointer to
 *      option value into "optval" parameter and remove both option
 *      and value from string options array.
 * Parameters:
 *      argc: pointer to number of values present into option string
 *            array. This parameter must be !NULL and it's updated
 *            by a succesfull call of this function.
 *      argv: pointer to array of option string items. This parameter
 *            must be !NULL and it's updated by a succesfull call of
 *            this function
 *       opt: option to look for.
 *    optval: if !NULL, this function will expect a value for given option;
 *            if such value is found, `optval' will point to it.
 * Return value:
 *      1: no option found
 *      0: succesfull
 *     -1: bad parameter(s) (NULL)
 *     -2: bad usage: expected value for option, but not found,
 * Postconditions:
