.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
These macros assume the names
|
||
|
|
.I argc
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I argv
|
||
|
|
are in scope; see
|
||
|
|
.IR exec (2).
|
||
|
|
.I ARGBEGIN
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I ARGEND
|
||
|
|
surround code for processing program options.
|
||
|
|
The code
|
||
|
|
should be the cases of a C switch on
|
||
|
|
option characters;
|
||
|
|
it is executed once for each option character.
|
||
|
|
Options end after an argument
|
||
|
|
.BR -- ,
|
||
|
|
before an argument
|
||
|
|
.BR - ,
|
||
|
|
or before an argument that doesn't begin with
|
||
|
|
.BR - .
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The function macro
|
||
|
|
.I ARGC
|
||
|
|
returns the current option character, as an integer.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The function macro
|
||
|
|
.I ARGF
|
||
|
|
returns the current option argument:
|
||
|
|
a pointer to the rest of the option string if not empty,
|
||
|
|
or the next argument in
|
||
|
|
.I argv
|
||
|
|
if any, or 0.
|
||
|
|
.I ARGF
|
||
|
|
must be called just once for each option
|
||
|
|
argument.
|
||
|
|
The macro
|
||
|
|
.I EARGF
|
||
|
|
is like
|
||
|
|
.I ARGF
|
||
|
|
but instead of returning zero
|
||
|
|
runs
|
||
|
|
.I code
|
||
|
|
and, if that returns, calls
|
||
|
|
.IR abort (2).
|
||
|
|
A typical value for
|
||
|
|
.I code
|
||
|
|
is
|
||
|
|
.BR usage() ,
|
||
|
|
as in
|
||
|
|
.BR EARGF(usage()) .
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
After
|
||
|
|
.IR ARGBEGIN ,
|
||
|
|
.I argv0
|
||
|
|
is a copy of
|
||
|
|
.BR argv[0]
|
||
|
|
(conventionally the name of the program).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
After
|
||
|
|
.IR ARGEND ,
|
||
|
|
.I argv
|
||
|
|
points at a zero-terminated list of the remaining
|
||
|
|
.I argc
|
||
|
|
arguments.
|
||
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
||
|
|
This C program can take option
|
||
|
|
.B b
|
||
|
|
and option
|
||
|
|
.BR f ,
|
||
|
|
which requires an argument.
