Its // arguments argc and argv are the argument count and array as // passed into the application on program invocation. In the case // of Visual C++ programs, argc and argv are available via the // variables __argc and __argv (double underscores), respectively. // getopt returns the next option letter in argv that matches a // letter in optstring. (Note: Unicode programs should use // __targv instead of __argv. Also, all character and string // literals should be enclosed in _T( ) ). // // optstring is a string of recognized option letters; if a letter // is followed by a colon, the option is expected to have an argument // that may or may not be separated from it by white space. optarg // is set to point to the start of the option argument on return from // getopt. // // Option letters may be combined, e.g., "-ab" is equivalent to // "-a -b". Option letters are case sensitive. // // getopt places in the external variable optind the argv index // of the next argument to be processed. optind is initialized // to 0 before the first call to getopt. // // When all options have been processed (i.e., up to the first // non-option argument), getopt returns EOF, optarg will point // to the argument, and optind will be set to the argv index of // the argument. If there are no non-option arguments, optarg // will be set to NULL. // // The special option "--" may be used to delimit the end of the // options; EOF will be returned, and "--" (and everything after it) // will be skipped. // // RETURN VALUE // For option letters contained in the string optstring, getopt // will return the option letter. getopt returns a question mark (?) // when it encounters an option letter not included in optstring. // EOF is returned when processing is finished. // // BUGS // 1) Long options are not supported. // 2) The GNU double-colon extension is not supported. // 3) The environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is not supported. // 4) The + syntax is not supported. // 5) The automatic permutation of arguments is not supported. // 6) This implementation of getopt() returns EOF if an error is // encountered, instead of -1 as the latest standard requires. // // EXAMPLE // BOOL CMyApp::ProcessCommandLine(int argc, char *argv[]) // { // int c; // // while ((c = getopt(argc, argv, _T("aBn:"))) != EOF) // { // switch (c) // { // case _T('a'): // TRACE(_T("option a\n")); // // // // set some flag here // // // break; // // case _T('B'): // TRACE( _T("option B\n")); // // // // set some other flag here // // // break; // // case _T('n'): // TRACE(_T("option n: value=%d\n"), atoi(optarg)); // // // // do something with value here // // // break; // // case _T('?'): // TRACE(_T("ERROR: illegal option %s\n"), argv[optind-1]); // return FALSE; // break; // // default: // TRACE(_T("WARNING: no handler for option %c\n"), c); // return FALSE; // break; // } // } // // // // check for non-option args here // // // return TRUE; // } // /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// char *optarg; // global argument pointer int optind = 0; // global argv index int getopt(int argc, char *argv[], char *optstring) { char c = 0; char *cp = NULL; static char *next = NULL; if (optind == 0) next = NULL; optarg = NULL; if (next == NULL || *next == '\0') { if (optind == 0) optind++; if (optind >= argc || argv[optind][0] != '-' || argv[optind][1] == '\0') { optarg = NULL; if (optind < argc) optarg = argv[optind]; return EOF; } if (strcmp(argv[optind], "--") == 0) { optind++; optarg = NULL; if (optind < argc) optarg = argv[optind]; return EOF; } next = argv[optind]; next++; // skip past - optind++; } c = *next++; cp = strchr(optstring, c); if (cp == NULL || c == ':') return '?'; cp++; if (*cp == ':') { if (*next != '\0') { optarg = next; next = NULL; } else if (optind < argc) { optarg = argv[optind]; optind++; } else { return '?'; } } return c; }
