Function Documentation

apr_status_t apr_getopt ( apr_getopt_t os,
const char *  opts,
char *  option_ch,
const char **  option_arg 
)

Parse the options initialized by apr_getopt_init().

Parameters:
os The apr_opt_t structure returned by apr_getopt_init()
opts A string of characters that are acceptable options to the program. Characters followed by ":" are required to have an option associated
option_ch The next option character parsed
option_arg The argument following the option character:
Returns:
There are four potential status values on exit. They are:
             APR_EOF      --  No more options to parse
             APR_BADCH    --  Found a bad option character
             APR_BADARG   --  No argument followed the option flag
             APR_SUCCESS  --  The next option was found.
 

apr_status_t apr_getopt_init ( apr_getopt_t **  os,
apr_pool_t cont,
int  argc,
const char *const *  argv 
)

Initialize the arguments for parsing by apr_getopt().

Parameters:
os The options structure created for apr_getopt()
cont The pool to operate on
argc The number of arguments to parse
argv The array of arguments to parse
Remarks:
Arguments 2 and 3 are most commonly argc and argv from main(argc, argv) The errfn is initialized to fprintf(stderr... but may be overridden.

apr_status_t apr_getopt_long ( apr_getopt_t os,
const apr_getopt_option_t opts,
int *  option_ch,
const char **  option_arg 
)

Parse the options initialized by apr_getopt_init(), accepting long options beginning with "--" in addition to single-character options beginning with "-".

Parameters:
os The apr_getopt_t structure created by apr_getopt_init()
opts A pointer to a list of apr_getopt_option_t structures, which can be initialized with { "name", optch, has_args }. has_args is nonzero if the option requires an argument. A structure with an optch value of 0 terminates the list.
option_ch Receives the value of "optch" from the apr_getopt_option_t structure corresponding to the next option matched.
option_arg Receives the argument following the option, if any.
Returns:
There are four potential status values on exit. They are:
             APR_EOF      --  No more options to parse
             APR_BADCH    --  Found a bad option character
             APR_BADARG   --  No argument followed the option flag
             APR_SUCCESS  --  The next option was found.
 
When APR_SUCCESS is returned, os->ind gives the index of the first non-option argument. On error, a message will be printed to stdout unless os->err is set to 0. If os->interleave is set to nonzero, options can come after arguments, and os->argv will be permuted to leave non-option arguments at the end (the original argv is unaffected).
