/* * argv_parse.c --- utility function for parsing a string into a * argc, argv array. * * This file defines a function argv_parse() which parsing a * passed-in string, handling double quotes and backslashes, and * creates an allocated argv vector which can be freed using the * argv_free() function. * * See argv_parse.h for the formal definition of the functions. * * Copyright 1999 by Theodore Ts'o. * * Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software for * any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that * the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all * copies.
