DESCRIPTION
These functions are glibc-specific.
An argz vector is a pointer to a character buffer together with a length.
The intended interpretation of the character buffer is an array
of strings, where the strings are separated by null bytes ('\0').
If the length is non-zero, the last byte of the buffer must be a null byte.
These functions are for handling argz vectors.
The pair (NULL,0) is an argz vector, and, conversely,
argz vectors of length 0 must have NULL pointer.
Allocation of nonempty argz vectors is done using
malloc(3),
so that
free(3)
can be used to dispose of them again.
R argz_add ()
adds the string
str
at the end of the array
*argz,
and updates
*argz
and
*argz_len.
R argz_add_sep ()
is similar, but splits the string
str
into substrings separated by the delimiter
R delim .
For example, one might use this on a Unix search path with
delimiter ':'.
R argz_append ()
appends the argz vector
(buf,buf_len)
after
(*argz,*argz_len)
and updates
*argz
and
*argz_len.
(Thus,
*argz_len
will be increased by
R buf_len .)
R argz_count ()
counts the number of strings, that is,
the number of null bytes ('\0'), in
(argz,argz_len).
R argz_create ()
converts a Unix-style argument vector
R argv ,
terminated by (char *) 0, into an argz vector
(*argz,*argz_len).
R argz_create_sep ()
converts the null-terminated string
str
into an argz vector
(*argz,*argz_len)
by breaking it up at every occurrence of the separator
R sep .
R argz_delete ()
removes the substring pointed to by
entry
from the argz vector
(*argz,*argz_len)
and updates
*argz
and
*argz_len.
R argz_extract ()
is the opposite of
R argz_create ().
It takes the argz vector
(argz,argz_len)
and fills the array starting at
argv
with pointers to the substrings, and a final NULL,
making a Unix-style argv vector.
The array
argv
must have room for
R argz_count ( argz , argz_len ) + 1
pointers.
R argz_insert ()
is the opposite of
R argz_delete ().
It inserts the argument
entry
at position
before
into the argz vector
(*argz,*argz_len)
and updates
*argz
and
*argz_len.
If
before
is NULL, then
entry
will inserted at the end.
R argz_next ()
is a function to step trough the argz vector.
If
entry
is NULL, the first entry is returned.
Otherwise, the entry
following is returned.
It returns NULL if there is no following entry.
R argz_replace ()
replaces each occurrence of
str
with
R with ,
reallocating argz as necessary.
If
replace_count
is non-NULL,
*replace_count
will be incremented by the number of replacements.
R argz_stringify ()
is the opposite of
R argz_create_sep ().
It transforms the argz vector into a normal string by replacing
all null bytes ('\0') except the last by
R sep .
RETURN VALUE
All argz functions that do memory allocation have a return type of
error_t, and return 0 for success, and ENOMEM
if an allocation error occurs.
CONFORMING TO
These functions are a GNU extension.
Handle with care.
BUGS
Argz vectors without a terminating null byte may lead to
Segmentation Faults.
