133 Given a pointer to a string, parse the string extracting fields
134 separated by whitespace and optionally enclosed within either single
135 or double quotes (which are stripped off), and build a vector of
136 pointers to copies of the string for each field. The input string
137 remains unchanged. The last element of the vector is followed by a
140 All of the memory for the pointer array and copies of the string
141 is obtained from @code{xmalloc}. All of the memory can be returned to the
142 system with the single function call @code{freeargv}, which takes the
143 returned result of @code{buildargv}, as it's argument.
145 Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful. Returns
146 @code{NULL} if @var{sp} is @code{NULL} or if there is insufficient
147 memory to complete building the argument vector.
149 If the input is a null string (as opposed to a @code{NULL} pointer),
150 then buildarg returns an argument vector that has one arg, a null
155 The memory for the argv array is dynamically expanded as necessary.
157 In order to provide a working buffer for extracting arguments into,
158 with appropriate stripping of quotes and translation of backslash
159 sequences, we allocate a working buffer at least as long as the input
160 string. This ensures that we always have enough space in which to
161 work, since the extracted arg is never larger than the input string.
163 The argument vector is always kept terminated with a @code{NULL} arg
164 pointer, so it can be passed to @code{freeargv} at any time, or
165 returned, as appropriate.

339 The @var{argcp} and @code{argvp} arguments are pointers to the usual
340 @code{argc} and @code{argv} arguments to @code{main}. This function
341 looks for arguments that begin with the character @samp{@@}. Any such
342 arguments are interpreted as ``response files''. The contents of the
343 response file are interpreted as additional command line options. In
344 particular, the file is separated into whitespace-separated strings;
345 each such string is taken as a command-line option. The new options
346 are inserted in place of the option naming the response file, and
347 @code{*argcp} and @code{*argvp} will be updated. If the value of
348 @code{*argvp} is modified by this function, then the new value has
349 been dynamically allocated and can be deallocated by the caller with
350 @code{freeargv}. However, most callers will simply call
351 @code{expandargv} near the beginning of @code{main} and allow the
352 operating system to free the memory when the program exits.
