43 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | |
44 | .In unistd.h | |
45 | .Vt extern char *suboptarg ; | |
46 | .Ft int | |
47 | .Fn getsubopt "char **optionp" "char * const *tokens" "char **valuep" | |
48 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
49 | The | |
50 | .Fn getsubopt | |
51 | function | |
52 | parses a string containing tokens delimited by one or more tab, space or | |
53 | comma | |
54 | .Pq Ql \&, | |
55 | characters. | |
56 | It is intended for use in parsing groups of option arguments provided | |
57 | as part of a utility command line. | |
58 | .Pp | |
59 | The argument | |
60 | .Fa optionp | |
61 | is a pointer to a pointer to the string. | |
62 | The argument | |
63 | .Fa tokens | |
64 | is a pointer to a | |
65 | .Dv NULL Ns -terminated | |
66 | array of pointers to strings. | |
67 | .Pp | |
68 | The | |
69 | .Fn getsubopt | |
70 | function | |
71 | returns the zero-based offset of the pointer in the | |
72 | .Fa tokens | |
73 | array referencing a string which matches the first token | |
74 | in the string, or, \-1 if the string contains no tokens or | |
75 | .Fa tokens | |
76 | does not contain a matching string. | |
77 | .Pp | |
78 | If the token is of the form ``name=value'', the location referenced by | |
79 | .Fa valuep | |
80 | will be set to point to the start of the ``value'' portion of the token. | |
81 | .Pp | |
82 | On return from | |
83 | .Fn getsubopt , | |
84 | .Fa optionp | |
85 | will be set to point to the start of the next token in the string, | |
86 | or the null at the end of the string if no more tokens are present. | |
87 | The external variable | |
88 | .Fa suboptarg | |
89 | will be set to point to the start of the current token, or | |
90 | .Dv NULL | |
91 | if no | |
92 | tokens were present. | |
93 | The argument | |
94 | .Fa valuep | |
95 | will be set to point to the ``value'' portion of the token, or | |
96 | .Dv NULL | |
97 | if no ``value'' portion was present. | |
