124 freeargv -- free an argument vector
128 void freeargv (vector)
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.

162 buildargv -- build an argument vector from a string
166 char **buildargv (sp)
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
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.
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.
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.
