A null name means a short-only + option. A code value outside the unsigned char range means a + long-only option. + + Arg_parser normally makes it appear as if all the option arguments + were specified before all the non-option arguments for the purposes + of parsing, even if the user of your program intermixed option and + non-option arguments. If you want the arguments in the exact order + the user typed them, call `ap_init' with `in_order' = true. + + The argument `--' terminates all options; any following arguments are + treated as non-option arguments, even if they begin with a hyphen. + + The syntax for optional option arguments is `-<short_option><argument>' + (without whitespace), or `--<long_option>=<argument>'. +*/ + +#ifdef __cplusplus +extern "C" { +#endif + +enum ap_Has_arg { ap_no, ap_yes, ap_maybe }; + +struct ap_Option + { + int code; /* Short option letter or code ( code != 0 ) */ + const char * name; /* Long option name (maybe null) */ + enum ap_Has_arg has_arg; + }; + + +struct ap_Record + { + int code; + char * argument; + }; + + +struct Arg_parser + { + struct ap_Record * data; + char * error; + int data_size; + int error_size; + }; + + +char ap_init( struct Arg_parser * const ap, + const int argc, const char * const argv[], + const struct ap_Option options[], const char in_order ); + +void ap_free( struct Arg_parser * const ap ); + +const char * ap_error( const struct Arg_parser * const ap ); + + /* The number of arguments parsed (may be different from argc) */ +int ap_arguments( const struct Arg_parser * const ap ); + + /* If ap_code( i ) is 0, ap_argument( i ) is a non-option. + Else ap_argument( i ) is the option's argument (or empty). */ +int ap_code( const struct Arg_parser * const ap, const int i ); + +const char * ap_argument( const struct Arg_parser * const ap, const int i ); + +#ifdef __cplusplus +} +#endif |
