.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
These routines manipulate character strings, either adding or removing
|
||
|
|
quotes as necessary.
|
||
|
|
In the quoted form, the strings are in the style of
|
||
|
|
.IR rc (1) ,
|
||
|
|
with single quotes surrounding the string.
|
||
|
|
Embedded single quotes are indicated by a doubled single quote.
|
||
|
|
For instance,
|
||
|
|
.IP
|
||
|
|
.EX
|
||
|
|
Don't worry!
|
||
|
|
.EE
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
when quoted becomes
|
||
|
|
.IP
|
||
|
|
.EX
|
||
|
|
\&'Don''t worry!'
|
||
|
|
.EE
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The empty string is represented by two quotes,
|
||
|
|
.BR '' .
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The first four functions act as variants of
|
||
|
|
.B strdup
|
||
|
|
(see
|
||
|
|
.IR strcat (2)).
|
||
|
|
Each returns a
|
||
|
|
freshly allocated copy of the string, created using
|
||
|
|
.IR malloc (2).
|
||
|
|
.I Quotestrdup
|
||
|
|
returns a quoted copy of
|
||
|
|
.IR s ,
|
||
|
|
while
|
||
|
|
.I unquotestrdup
|
||
|
|
returns a copy of
|
||
|
|
.IR s
|
||
|
|
with the quotes evaluated.
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I rune
|
||
|
|
versions of these functions do the same for
|
||
|
|
.CW Rune
|
||
|
|
strings (see
|
||
|
|
.IR runestrcat (2)).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The string returned by
|
||
|
|
.I quotestrdup
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.I quoterunestrdup
|
||
|
|
has the following properties:
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
1.
|
||
|
|
If the original string
|
||
|
|
.IR s
|
||
|
|
is empty, the returned string is
|
||
|
|
.BR '' .
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
2.
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.I s
|
||
|
|
contains no quotes, blanks, or control characters,
|
||
|
|
the returned string is identical to
|
||
|
|
.IR s .
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
3.
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.I s
|
||
|
|
needs quotes to be added, the first character of the returned
|
||
|
|
string will be a quote.
|
||
|
|
For example,
|
||
|
|
.B hello\ world
|
||
|
|
becomes
|
||
|
|
.B \&'hello\ world'
|
||
|
|
not
|
||
|
|
.BR hello'\ 'world .
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The function pointer
|
||
|
|
.I doquote
|
||
|
|
is
|
||
|
|
.B nil
|
||
|
|
by default.
|
||
|
|
If it is non-nil, characters are passed to that function to see if they should
|
||
|
|
be quoted.
|
||
|
|
This mechanism allows programs to specify that
|
||
|
|
characters other than blanks, control characters, or quotes be quoted.
|
||
|
|
Regardless of the return value of
|
||
|
|
.IR *doquote ,
|
||
|
|
blanks, control characters, and quotes are always quoted.
|
||
|
|
.I Needsrcquote
|
||
|
|
is provided as a
|
||
|
|
.I doquote
|
||
|
|
function that flags any character special to
|
||
|
|
.IR rc (1).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.I Quotestrfmt
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I quoterunestrfmt
|
||
|
|
are
|
||
|
|
.IR print (2)
|
||
|
|
formatting routines that produce quoted strings as output.
|
||
|
|
They may be installed by hand, but
|
||
|
|
.I quotefmtinstall
|
||
|
|
installs them under the standard format characters
|
||
|
|
.B q
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.BR Q .
|
||
|
|
(They are not installed automatically.)
|
||
|
|
If the format string includes the alternate format character
|
||
|
|
.BR # ,
|
||
|
|
for example
|
||
|
|
.BR %#q ,
|
||
|
|
the printed string will always be quoted; otherwise quotes will only be provided if necessary
|
||
|
|
to avoid ambiguity.
|
||
|
|
In
|
||
|
|
.B <libc.h>
|
||
|
|
there are
|
||
|
|
.B #pragma
|
||
|
|
statements so the compiler can type-check uses of
|
||
|
|
.B %q
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.B %Q
|
||
|
|
in
|
||
|
|
.IR print (2)
|
||
|
|
format strings.
