/* * argv_parse.h --- header file for the argv parser. * * This file defines the interface for the functions argv_parse() and * argv_free(). * *********************************************************************** * int argv_parse(char *in_buf, int *ret_argc, char ***ret_argv) * * This function takes as its first argument a string which it will * parse into an argv argument vector, with each white-space separated * word placed into its own slot in the argv. This function handles * double quotes and backslashes so that the parsed words can contain * special characters. The count of the number words found in the * parsed string, as well as the argument vector, are returned into * ret_argc and ret_argv, respectively. *********************************************************************** * extern void argv_free(char **argv); * * This function frees the argument vector created by argv_parse(). *********************************************************************** * * Copyright 1999 by Theodore Ts'o. * * Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software for * any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that * the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all * copies.
