In case of error, 'ap_error' returns a non-null pointer to an error message. 'options' is an array of 'struct ap_Option' terminated by an element containing a code which is zero. A null long_name means a short-only option. A code value outside the unsigned char range means a long-only option. Arg_parser normally makes it appear as if all the option arguments were specified before all the non-option arguments for the purposes of parsing, even if the user of your program intermixed option and non-option arguments. If you want the arguments in the exact order the user typed them, call 'ap_init' with 'in_order' = true. The argument '--' terminates all options; any following arguments are treated as non-option arguments, even if they begin with a hyphen. The syntax for optional option arguments is '-' (without whitespace), or '--='. */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif enum ap_Has_arg { ap_no, ap_yes, ap_maybe }; struct ap_Option { int code; /* Short option letter or code ( code != 0 ) */ const char * long_name; /* Long option name (maybe null) */ enum ap_Has_arg has_arg; }; struct ap_Record { int code; char * parsed_name; char * argument; }; struct Arg_parser { struct ap_Record * data; char * error; int data_size; int error_size; }; char ap_init( struct Arg_parser * const ap, const int argc, const char * const argv[], const struct ap_Option options[], const char in_order ); void ap_free( struct Arg_parser * const ap ); const char * ap_error( const struct Arg_parser * const ap ); /* The number of arguments parsed.
