73 * get_options - Parse a string into a list of integers

78 * This function parses a string containing a comma-separated
79 * list of integers, a hyphen-separated range of _positive_ integers,
80 * or a combination of both. The parse halts when the array is
81 * full, or when no more numbers can be retrieved from the
84 * Return value is the character in the string which caused
85 * the parse to end (typically a null terminator, if @str is
86 * completely parseable).
