stropts.h: No such file or directory

❯ gcc -o hidclient -O2 -lbluetooth -Wall hidclient.c

hidclient.c:105:21: fatal error: stropts.h: No such file or directory
 #include <stropts.h>
                     ^
compilation terminated.

I found some discussion around a similar error for an entirely different program here that also did the trick for me. after making the following change it compiled without issue.

diff --git a/hidclient.c b/hidclient.c

If you apply that diff, it allows hidclient to build on "recent" Ubuntus. (recent at this point might mean any supported Ubuntu) Thanks @jgedarovich
