65 NAME
67 dupargv -- duplicate an argument vector
69 SYNOPSIS
71 char **dupargv (vector)
72 char **vector;
74 DESCRIPTION
76 Duplicate an argument vector. Simply scans through the
77 vector, duplicating each argument until the
78 terminating NULL is found.
80 RETURNS
82 Returns a pointer to the argument vector if
83 successful. Returns NULL if there is insufficient memory to
84 complete building the argument vector.
88 char **
89 dupargv (argv)
90 char **argv;
92 int argc;
93 char **copy;
95 if (argv == NULL)
96 return NULL;
98 /* the vector */
99 for (argc = 0; argv[argc] != NULL; argc++);
100 copy = (char **) malloc ((argc + 1) * sizeof (char *));
101 if (copy == NULL)
102 return NULL;
104 /* the strings */
105 for (argc = 0; argv[argc] != NULL; argc++)
107 int len = strlen (argv[argc]);
108 copy[argc] = malloc (sizeof (char *) * (len + 1));
109 if (copy[argc] == NULL)
111 freeargv (copy);
112 return NULL;

122 NAME
124 freeargv -- free an argument vector
126 SYNOPSIS
128 void freeargv (vector)
129 char **vector;
131 DESCRIPTION
133 Free an argument vector that was built using buildargv. Simply scans
134 through the vector, freeing the memory for each argument until the
135 terminating NULL is found, and then frees the vector itself.
137 RETURNS
139 No value.

144 char **vector;
146 register char **scan;
148 if (vector != NULL)
150 for (scan = vector; *scan != NULL; scan++)
152 free (*scan);
154 free (vector);
160 NAME
162 buildargv -- build an argument vector from a string
164 SYNOPSIS
166 char **buildargv (sp)
167 char *sp;
169 DESCRIPTION
171 Given a pointer to a string, parse the string extracting fields
172 separated by whitespace and optionally enclosed within either single
173 or double quotes (which are stripped off), and build a vector of
174 pointers to copies of the string for each field. The input string
175 remains unchanged.
177 All of the memory for the pointer array and copies of the string
178 is obtained from malloc. All of the memory can be returned to the
179 system with the single function call freeargv, which takes the
180 returned result of buildargv, as it's argument.
182 The memory for the argv array is dynamically expanded as necessary.
184 RETURNS
186 Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful. Returns NULL
187 if the input string pointer is NULL or if there is insufficient
188 memory to complete building the argument vector.
190 NOTES
192 In order to provide a working buffer for extracting arguments into,
193 with appropriate stripping of quotes and translation of backslash
194 sequences, we allocate a working buffer at least as long as the input
195 string. This ensures that we always have enough space in which to
196 work, since the extracted arg is never larger than the input string.
198 If the input is a null string (as opposed to a NULL pointer), then
199 buildarg returns an argv that has one arg, a null string.
201 Argv is always kept terminated with a NULL arg pointer, so it can
202 be passed to freeargv at any time, or returned, as appropriate.
