Detailed Description

Standardized argument parsing.

The sys/argsplit.h header provides a system for standardized argument parsing, allowing arguments to be parsed in the same way in various parts of the operating system.

Functions
const char **	argsplit (const char str, uint64_t maxLen, uint64_t count)
	Standardized argument parsing function.

const char **	argsplit_buf (void buf, uint64_t size, const char str, uint64_t maxLen, uint64_t *count)
	Standardized argument parsing function using a provided buffer.

Function Documentation

◆ argsplit()

const char ** argsplit	(	const char *	str,
		uint64_t	maxLen,
		uint64_t *	count
	)

Standardized argument parsing function.

The argsplit() function parses a input string and splits it into a NULL-terminated array of strings factoring in escape chars spaces and quotation marks.

The caller is responsible for freeing the returned array, there is no need to free the strings as they re stored in the same buffer.

Parameters

str	The input string to be parsed.
maxLen	The maximum length of the input string.
count	A pointer to a `uint64_t` where the number of parsed arguments will be stored.

Returns: On success, returns a NULL-terminated array of strings (the parsed arguments). On failure, returns NULL.

◆ argsplit_buf()

const char ** argsplit_buf	(	void *	buf,
		uint64_t	size,
		const char *	str,
		uint64_t	maxLen,
		uint64_t *	count
	)

Standardized argument parsing function using a provided buffer.

The argsplit_buf() function is similar to argsplit() but uses a pre-allocated buffer for storing the parsed arguments, useful for memory management.
