69 NAME
71 dupargv -- duplicate an argument vector
73 SYNOPSIS
75 char **dupargv (vector)
76 char **vector;
78 DESCRIPTION
80 Duplicate an argument vector. Simply scans through the
81 vector, duplicating each argument until the
82 terminating NULL is found.
84 RETURNS
86 Returns a pointer to the argument vector if
87 successful. Returns NULL if there is insufficient memory to
88 complete building the argument vector.
92 char **
93 dupargv (argv)
94 char **argv;
96 int argc;
97 char **copy;
99 if (argv == NULL)
100 return NULL;
102 /* the vector */
103 for (argc = 0; argv[argc] != NULL; argc++);
104 copy = (char **) malloc ((argc + 1) * sizeof (char *));
105 if (copy == NULL)
106 return NULL;
108 /* the strings */
109 for (argc = 0; argv[argc] != NULL; argc++)
111 int len = strlen (argv[argc]);
112 copy[argc] = malloc (sizeof (char *) * (len + 1));
113 if (copy[argc] == NULL)
115 freeargv (copy);
116 return NULL;

126 NAME
128 freeargv -- free an argument vector
130 SYNOPSIS
132 void freeargv (vector)
133 char **vector;
135 DESCRIPTION
137 Free an argument vector that was built using buildargv. Simply scans
138 through the vector, freeing the memory for each argument until the
139 terminating NULL is found, and then frees the vector itself.
141 RETURNS
143 No value.
147 void freeargv (vector)
148 char **vector;
150 register char **scan;
152 if (vector != NULL)
154 for (scan = vector; *scan != NULL; scan++)
156 free (*scan);
158 free (vector);
164 NAME
166 buildargv -- build an argument vector from a string
168 SYNOPSIS
170 char **buildargv (sp)
171 char *sp;
173 DESCRIPTION
175 Given a pointer to a string, parse the string extracting fields
176 separated by whitespace and optionally enclosed within either single
177 or double quotes (which are stripped off), and build a vector of
178 pointers to copies of the string for each field. The input string
179 remains unchanged.
181 All of the memory for the pointer array and copies of the string
182 is obtained from malloc. All of the memory can be returned to the
183 system with the single function call freeargv, which takes the
184 returned result of buildargv, as it's argument.
186 The memory for the argv array is dynamically expanded as necessary.
188 RETURNS
190 Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful. Returns NULL
191 if the input string pointer is NULL or if there is insufficient
192 memory to complete building the argument vector.
194 NOTES
196 In order to provide a working buffer for extracting arguments into,
197 with appropriate stripping of quotes and translation of backslash
198 sequences, we allocate a working buffer at least as long as the input
199 string. This ensures that we always have enough space in which to
200 work, since the extracted arg is never larger than the input string.
202 If the input is a null string (as opposed to a NULL pointer), then
203 buildarg returns an argv that has one arg, a null string.
205 Argv is always kept terminated with a NULL arg pointer, so it can
206 be passed to freeargv at any time, or returned, as appropriate.
