### The prototype Directory

This directory contains several template files. The `prototype.h` and `prototype.c` files contain the MIT copyright message and a placeholder for the title and description of the file. `prototype.h` also has a short template for writing `ifdef` and `ifndef` preprocessor statements. The `getopt.c` file provides a template for writing code that will parse the options with which a program was called.
