    Test Output
    ************************************************************************
    /tset/XPG4.os/genuts/getopt/T.getopt 4 Failed

    Test Description:
    The formats of the diagnostics printed to standard error by a call to
    getopt() in the POSIX locale are as follows:
    "%s: illegal option -- %c\n", <program name>, <option character>
    "%s: option requires an argument -- %c\n", <program name>, <option
    character>

    Test Strategy:
    PARENT process will
    CREATE [child process|process pair]
    CHILD process will
    SET locale to POSIX
    REDIRECT standard error to file
    CALL getopt(targc, targv, optstring)
    VERIFY that diagnostics are written to standard error
    VERIFY that format of diagnostics are as expected
