## How many people use the flag field?
A stunning 9%.
I was honestly expecting significantly less.
Below is the data of my research.

> [!NOTE]
> Collected from github using the query `getopt_long language:C`.

> [!NOTE]
> Forks of the same projects have been removed.

> [!NOTE]
> Projects where the long options struct[] were empty
> or I could not find the definition reasonably fast, have been excluded.
