argv-array API
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The argv-array API allows one to dynamically build and store
|
|
NULL-terminated lists. An argv-array maintains the invariant that the
|
|
`argv` member always points to a non-NULL array, and that the array is
|
|
always NULL-terminated at the element pointed to by `argv[argc]`. This
|
|
makes the result suitable for passing to functions expecting to receive
|
|
argv from main(), or the link:api-run-command.html[run-command API].
|
|
|
|
The link:api-string-list.html[string-list API] is similar, but cannot be
|
|
used for these purposes; instead of storing a straight string pointer,
|
|
it contains an item structure with a `util` field that is not compatible
|
|
with the traditional argv interface.
|
|
|
|
Each `argv_array` manages its own memory. Any strings pushed into the
|
|
array are duplicated, and all memory is freed by argv_array_clear().
|
|
|
|
Data Structures
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
`struct argv_array`::
|
|
|
|
A single array. This should be initialized by assignment from
|
|
`ARGV_ARRAY_INIT`, or by calling `argv_array_init`. The `argv`
|
|
member contains the actual array; the `argc` member contains the
|
|
number of elements in the array, not including the terminating
|
|
NULL.
|
|
|
|
Functions
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
`argv_array_init`::
|
|
Initialize an array. This is no different than assigning from
|
|
`ARGV_ARRAY_INIT`.
|
|
|
|
`argv_array_push`::
|
|
Push a copy of a string onto the end of the array.
|
|
|
|
`argv_array_pushl`::
|
|
Push a list of strings onto the end of the array. The arguments
|
|
should be a list of `const char *` strings, terminated by a NULL
|
|
argument.
|
|
|
|
`argv_array_pushf`::
|
|
Format a string and push it onto the end of the array. This is a
|
|
convenience wrapper combining `strbuf_addf` and `argv_array_push`.
|
|
|
|
`argv_array_pop`::
|
|
Remove the final element from the array. If there are no
|
|
elements in the array, do nothing.
|
|
|
|
`argv_array_clear`::
|
|
Free all memory associated with the array and return it to the
|
|
initial, empty state.
|
|
|
|
`argv_array_detach`::
|
|
Detach the argv array from the `struct argv_array`, transfering
|
|
ownership of the allocated array and strings.
|
|
|
|
`argv_array_free_detached`::
|
|
Free the memory allocated by a `struct argv_array` that was later
|
|
detached and is now no longer needed.
