+/**
+ * opt_early_parse_incomplete - parse early arguments, ignoring unknown ones.
+ * @argc: argc
+ * @argv: argv array.
+ * @errlog: the function to print errors
+ *
+ * If you have plugins, you might need to do early parsing (eg. to find the
+ * plugin directory) but you don't know what options the plugins will want.
+ *
+ * Thus, this function is just like opt_early_parse, but ignores unknown options.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *     if (!opt_early_parse_incomplete(argc, argv, opt_log_stderr)) {
+ *             printf("You screwed up, aborting!\n");
+ *             exit(1);
+ *     }
+ *
+ * See Also:
+ *     opt_early_parse()
