2 * argv_parse.h --- header file for the argv parser.
3 *
4 * This file defines the interface for the functions argv_parse() and
5 * argv_free().
6 *
7 ***********************************************************************
8 * int argv_parse(char *in_buf, int *ret_argc, char ***ret_argv)
9 *
10 * This function takes as its first argument a string which it will
11 * parse into an argv argument vector, with each white-space separated
12 * word placed into its own slot in the argv.  This function handles
13 * double quotes and backslashes so that the parsed words can contain
14 * special characters.   The count of the number words found in the
15 * parsed string, as well as the argument vector, are returned into
16 * ret_argc and ret_argv, respectively.
17 ***********************************************************************
18 * extern void argv_free(char **argv);
19 *
20 * This function frees the argument vector created by argv_parse().
