25 * @brief A simple recursive parser.
27 * This file contains functions which may be used to build a simple recursive
28 * parser. They all take the parse position as their first argument. If they
29 * match the parse position and the output arguments are updated accordingly and
30 * true is returned else no argument is altered. For arguments of type @ref cbuf
31 * this may hold only up to the current write position.
