opt_dec_intval decrements an int value, just as opt_inc_intval
increments.

There is not much more to say, other than it allows this
kind of thing, with balanced opposing options:

    static int opt_verbosity = 0;
    static struct opt_table options[] = {
            OPT_WITHOUT_ARG("-q|--quiet", opt_dec_intval,
                            &opt_verbosity, "print less"),
            OPT_WITHOUT_ARG("-v|--verbose", opt_inc_intval,
                            &opt_verbosity, "print more"),
            OPT_ENDTABLE
    };

which is an occasionally seen idiom.  It allows, e.g., people who like
quiet to use `alias foo='foo -q'`, while letting them get back to
normal and verbose modes with various amounts of '-v's.
