In case of error, `ap_error' returns a non-null pointer to an error message. `options' is an array of `struct ap_Option' terminated by an element containing a code which is zero. 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 `-' (without whitespace), or `--='. */ typedef enum { ap_no, ap_yes, ap_maybe } ap_Has_arg; typedef struct { int code; // Short option letter or code ( code != 0 ) const char * name; // Long option name (maybe null) ap_Has_arg has_arg; } ap_Option; typedef struct { int code; char * argument; } ap_Record; typedef struct { ap_Record * data; char * error; int data_size; int error_size; } Arg_parser; char ap_init( Arg_parser * ap, const int argc, const char * const argv[], const ap_Option options[], const char in_order ); void ap_free( Arg_parser * ap ); const char * ap_error( const Arg_parser * ap ); // The number of arguments parsed (may be different from argc) int ap_arguments( const Arg_parser * 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 Arg_parser * ap, const int i ); const char * ap_argument( const Arg_parser * ap, const int i );
