5 * Parse one item in an -L begin,end option w.r.t. the notional file
6 * object 'cb_data' consisting of 'lines' lines.
8 * The 'nth_line_cb' callback is used to determine the start of the
9 * line 'lno' inside the 'cb_data'. The caller is expected to already
10 * have a suitable map at hand to make this a constant-time lookup.
12 * 'anchor' is the 1-based line at which relative range specifications
13 * should be anchored. Absolute ranges are unaffected by this value.
15 * Returns 0 in case of success and -1 if there was an error. The
16 * actual range is stored in *begin and *end. The counting starts
17 * at 1! In case of error, the caller should show usage message.

29 * Scan past a range argument that could be parsed by
30 * 'parse_range_arg', to help the caller determine the start of the
31 * filename in '-L n,m:file' syntax.
33 * Returns a pointer to the first character after the 'n,m' part, or
34 * NULL in case the argument is obviously malformed.
