/****************************************************************************** * * The getopt() function is a command line parser. It returns the next * option character in argv that matches an option character in opstring. * * The argv argument points to an array of argc+1 elements containing argc * pointers to character strings followed by a null pointer. * * The opstring argument points to a string of option characters; if an * option character is followed by a colon, the option is expected to have * an argument that may or may not be separated from it by white space. * The external variable optarg is set to point to the start of the option * argument on return from getopt(). * * The getopt() function places in optind the argv index of the next argument * to be processed. The system initializes the external variable optind to * 1 before the first call to getopt(). * * When all options have been processed (that is, up to the first nonoption * argument), getopt() returns EOF. The special option "--" may be used to * delimit the end of the options; EOF will be returned, and "--" will be * skipped. * * The getopt() function returns a question mark (?) when it encounters an * option character not included in opstring. This error message can be * disabled by setting opterr to zero. Otherwise, it returns the option * character that was detected. * * If the special option "--" is detected, or all options have been * processed, EOF is returned. * * Options are marked by either a minus sign (-) or a slash (/). * * No errors are defined. *****************************************************************************/ #include /* for EOF */ #include /* for strchr() */ #include "getopt.h" /* static (global) variables that are specified as exported by getopt() */ char *optarg = NULL; /* pointer to the start of the option argument */ int optind = 1; /* number of the next argv[] to be evaluated */ int opterr = 1; /* non-zero if a question mark should be returned when a non-valid option character is detected */ /* handle possible future character set concerns by putting this in a macro */ #define _next_char(string) (char)(*(string+1)) int getopt2(int argc, char *argv[], char *opstring) { static char *pIndexPosition = NULL; /* place inside current argv string */ char *pArgString = NULL; /* where to start from next */ char *pOptString; /* the string in our program */ if (pIndexPosition != NULL) { /* we last left off inside an argv string */ if (*(++pIndexPosition)) { /* there is more to come in the most recent argv */ pArgString = pIndexPosition; } } if (pArgString == NULL) { /* we didn't leave off in the middle of an argv string */ if (optind >= argc) { /* more command-line arguments than the argument count */ pIndexPosition = NULL; /* not in the middle of anything */ return EOF; /* used up all command-line arguments */ } /*--------------------------------------------------------------------- * If the next argv[] is not an option, there can be no more options. *-------------------------------------------------------------------*/ pArgString = argv[optind++]; /* set this to the next argument ptr */ if (('/' != *pArgString) && /* doesn't start with a slash or a dash? */ ('-' != *pArgString)) { --optind; /* point to current arg once we're done */ optarg = NULL; /* no argument follows the option */ pIndexPosition = NULL; /* not in the middle of anything */ return EOF; /* used up all the command-line flags */ } /* check for special end-of-flags markers */ if ((strcmp(pArgString, "-") == 0) || (strcmp(pArgString, "--") == 0)) { optarg = NULL; /* no argument follows the option */ pIndexPosition = NULL; /* not in the middle of anything */ return EOF; /* encountered the special flag */ } pArgString++; /* look past the / or - */ } if (':' == *pArgString) /* is it a colon? */ { /*--------------------------------------------------------------------- * Rare case: if opterr is non-zero, return a question mark; * otherwise, just return the colon we're on. *-------------------------------------------------------------------*/ return (opterr ?
