126 Given a pointer to a string, parse the string extracting fields
127 separated by whitespace and optionally enclosed within either single
128 or double quotes (which are stripped off), and build a vector of
129 pointers to copies of the string for each field. The input string
130 remains unchanged. The last element of the vector is followed by a
133 All of the memory for the pointer array and copies of the string
134 is obtained from @code{malloc}. All of the memory can be returned to the
135 system with the single function call @code{freeargv}, which takes the
136 returned result of @code{buildargv}, as it's argument.
138 Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful. Returns
139 @code{NULL} if @var{sp} is @code{NULL} or if there is insufficient
140 memory to complete building the argument vector.
142 If the input is a null string (as opposed to a @code{NULL} pointer),
143 then buildarg returns an argument vector that has one arg, a null
148 The memory for the argv array is dynamically expanded as necessary.
150 In order to provide a working buffer for extracting arguments into,
151 with appropriate stripping of quotes and translation of backslash
152 sequences, we allocate a working buffer at least as long as the input
153 string. This ensures that we always have enough space in which to
154 work, since the extracted arg is never larger than the input string.
156 The argument vector is always kept terminated with a @code{NULL} arg
157 pointer, so it can be passed to @code{freeargv} at any time, or
158 returned, as appropriate.

293 @deftypefn Extension void expandargv (int *@var{argcp}, char ***@var{argvp})
295 The @var{argcp} and @code{argvp} arguments are pointers to the usual
296 @code{argc} and @code{argv} arguments to @code{main}. This function
297 looks for arguments that begin with the character @samp{@@}. Any such
298 arguments are interpreted as ``response files''. The contents of the
299 response file are interpreted as additional command line options. In
300 particular, the file is separated into whitespace-separated strings;
301 each such string is taken as a command-line option. The new options
302 are inserted in place of the option naming the response file, and
303 @code{*argcp} and @code{*argvp} will be updated. If the value of
304 @code{*argvp} is modified by this function, then the new value has
305 been dynamically allocated and can be deallocated by the caller with
306 @code{freeargv}. However, most callers will simply call
307 @code{expandargv} near the beginning of @code{main} and allow the
308 operating system to free the memory when the program exits.
