142 @deftypefn Extension char** buildargv (char *@var{sp})
144 Given a pointer to a string, parse the string extracting fields
145 separated by whitespace and optionally enclosed within either single
146 or double quotes (which are stripped off), and build a vector of
147 pointers to copies of the string for each field. The input string
148 remains unchanged. The last element of the vector is followed by a
149 @code{NULL} element.
151 All of the memory for the pointer array and copies of the string
152 is obtained from @code{malloc}. All of the memory can be returned to the
153 system with the single function call @code{freeargv}, which takes the
154 returned result of @code{buildargv}, as it's argument.
156 Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful. Returns
157 @code{NULL} if @var{sp} is @code{NULL} or if there is insufficient
158 memory to complete building the argument vector.
160 If the input is a null string (as opposed to a @code{NULL} pointer),
161 then buildarg returns an argument vector that has one arg, a null
162 string.
164 @end deftypefn
166 The memory for the argv array is dynamically expanded as necessary.
168 In order to provide a working buffer for extracting arguments into,
169 with appropriate stripping of quotes and translation of backslash
170 sequences, we allocate a working buffer at least as long as the input
171 string. This ensures that we always have enough space in which to
172 work, since the extracted arg is never larger than the input string.
174 The argument vector is always kept terminated with a @code{NULL} arg
175 pointer, so it can be passed to @code{freeargv} at any time, or
176 returned, as appropriate.

361 @deftypefn Extension void expandargv (int *@var{argcp}, char ***@var{argvp})
363 The @var{argcp} and @code{argvp} arguments are pointers to the usual
364 @code{argc} and @code{argv} arguments to @code{main}. This function
365 looks for arguments that begin with the character @samp{@@}. Any such
366 arguments are interpreted as ``response files''. The contents of the
367 response file are interpreted as additional command line options. In
368 particular, the file is separated into whitespace-separated strings;
369 each such string is taken as a command-line option. The new options
370 are inserted in place of the option naming the response file, and
371 @code{*argcp} and @code{*argvp} will be updated. If the value of
372 @code{*argvp} is modified by this function, then the new value has
373 been dynamically allocated and can be deallocated by the caller with
374 @code{freeargv}. However, most callers will simply call
375 @code{expandargv} near the beginning of @code{main} and allow the
376 operating system to free the memory when the program exits.
