| Error code | Error message | Reason | Solution |
| NULL | "Console_Getopt: option --$opt is ambiguous" | Two or more long options starts with the same character. | Change the naming of the options. It is also possible that the error is caused by a typing mistake. |
| NULL | "Console_Getopt: option --$opt requires an argument" | No parameter for a option was given. | Normally this is a user mistake. If the parameter is optional, you have to markup the parameter as optional in the option definitions. |
| NULL | "Console_Getopt: option --$opt doesn't allow an argument" | A parameter for a option was given. | Normally this is a user mistake. If the option requires a (optional) parameter, you have to markup it in the options definition. |
| NULL | "Console_Getopt: unrecognized option --$opt " | Unknown option. | Normally this is a user mistake. If the option exists, you have to define them in the options definition. |
