.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In stdlib.h
|
|
.Vt extern char *suboptarg
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn getsubopt "char **optionp" "char * const *tokens" "char **valuep"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getsubopt
|
|
function
|
|
parses a string containing tokens delimited by one or more tab, space or
|
|
comma
|
|
.Pq Ql \&,
|
|
characters.
|
|
It is intended for use in parsing groups of option arguments provided
|
|
as part of a utility command line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa optionp
|
|
is a pointer to a pointer to the string.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa tokens
|
|
is a pointer to a
|
|
.Dv NULL Ns -terminated
|
|
array of pointers to strings.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getsubopt
|
|
function
|
|
returns the zero-based offset of the pointer in the
|
|
.Fa tokens
|
|
array referencing a string which matches the first token
|
|
in the string, or \-1 if the string contains no tokens or
|
|
.Fa tokens
|
|
does not contain a matching string.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the token is of the form ``name=value'', the location referenced by
|
|
.Fa valuep
|
|
will be set to point to the start of the ``value'' portion of the token.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On return from
|
|
.Fn getsubopt ,
|
|
.Fa optionp
|
|
will be set to point to the start of the next token in the string,
|
|
or the null at the end of the string if no more tokens are present.
|
|
The external variable
|
|
.Fa suboptarg
|
|
will be set to point to the start of the current token, or
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if no
|
|
tokens were present.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa valuep
|
|
will be set to point to the ``value'' portion of the token, or
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if no ``value'' portion was present.
