c struct/table question

Code:

	const struct option long_options[]=
	{
		{	"help", 	0,	NULL,	'h'	},
		{	"output",	1, 	NULL,	'o'	},
		{	"verbose",	0, 	NULL,	'v'	},
		{	NULL,		0,	NULL,	'0'	}	
	}

What is this? An array of structures, ie is every entry considered a structure instance and also an entry of the long_options array? A structure of arrays? I am confused.

It's an array of structures. Every element in the array is an instance of the struct option. Everything after the first line is just initialization for the array.
