+.P +.BI "void argz_stringify(char *" argz ", size_t " len ", int " sep ); +.fi +.SH DESCRIPTION +These functions are glibc-specific. +.P +An argz vector is a pointer to a character buffer together with a length. +The intended interpretation of the character buffer is an array +of strings, where the strings are separated by null bytes (\[aq]\e0\[aq]). +If the length is nonzero, the last byte of the buffer must be a null byte. +.P +These functions are for handling argz vectors. +The pair (NULL,0) is an argz vector, and, conversely, +argz vectors of length 0 must have null pointer. +Allocation of nonempty argz vectors is done using +.BR malloc (3), +so that +.BR free (3) +can be used to dispose of them again. +.P +.BR argz_add () +adds the string +.I str +at the end of the array +.IR *argz , +and updates +.I *argz +and +.IR *argz_len . +.P +.BR argz_add_sep () +is similar, but splits the string +.I str +into substrings separated by the delimiter +.IR delim . +For example, one might use this on a UNIX search path with +delimiter \[aq]:\[aq]. +.P +.BR argz_append () +appends the argz vector +.RI ( buf ,\ buf_len ) +after +.RI ( *argz ,\ *argz_len ) +and updates +.I *argz +and +.IR *argz_len . +(Thus, +.I *argz_len +will be increased by +.IR buf_len .) +.P +.BR argz_count () +counts the number of strings, that is, +the number of null bytes (\[aq]\e0\[aq]), in +.RI ( argz ,\ argz_len ). +.P +.BR argz_create () +converts a UNIX-style argument vector +.IR argv , +terminated by +.IR "(char\ *)\ 0" , +into an argz vector +.RI ( *argz ,\ *argz_len ). +.P +.BR argz_create_sep () +converts the null-terminated string +.I str +into an argz vector +.RI ( *argz ,\ *argz_len ) +by breaking it up at every occurrence of the separator +.IR sep . +.P +.BR argz_delete () +removes the substring pointed to by +.I entry +from the argz vector +.RI ( *argz ,\ *argz_len ) +and updates +.I *argz +and +.IR *argz_len . +.P +.BR argz_extract () +is the opposite of +.BR argz_create (). +It takes the argz vector +.RI ( argz ,\ argz_len ) +and fills the array starting at +.I argv +with pointers to the substrings, and a final NULL, +making a UNIX-style argv vector. +The array +.I argv +must have room for +.IR argz_count ( argz ", " argz_len ") + 1" +pointers. +.P +.BR argz_insert () +is the opposite of +.BR argz_delete (). +It inserts the argument +.I entry +at position +.I before +into the argz vector +.RI ( *argz ,\ *argz_len ) +and updates +.I *argz +and +.IR *argz_len . +If +.I before +is NULL, then +.I entry +will inserted at the end. +.P +.BR argz_next () +is a function to step through the argz vector. +If +.I entry +is NULL, the first entry is returned. +Otherwise, the entry +following is returned. +It returns NULL if there is no following entry. +.P +.BR argz_replace () +replaces each occurrence of +.I str +with +.IR with , +reallocating argz as necessary. +If +.I replace_count +is non-NULL, +.I *replace_count +will be incremented by the number of replacements. +.P +.BR argz_stringify () +is the opposite of +.BR argz_create_sep (). +It transforms the argz vector into a normal string by replacing +all null bytes (\[aq]\e0\[aq]) except the last by +.IR sep . +.SH RETURN VALUE +All argz functions that do memory allocation have a return type of +.I error_t +(an integer type), +and return 0 for success, and +.B ENOMEM +if an allocation error occurs. +.SH ATTRIBUTES +For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see +.BR attributes (7). +.TS +allbox;
