NAME
dupargv -- duplicate an argument vector
SYNOPSIS
char **dupargv (vector)
char **vector;
DESCRIPTION
Duplicate an argument vector. Simply scans through the
vector, duplicating each argument argument until the
terminating NULL is found.
RETURNS
Returns a pointer to the argument vector if
successful. Returns NULL if there is insufficient memory to
complete building the argument vector.

SYNOPSIS
void freeargv (vector)

DESCRIPTION
Free an argument vector that was built using buildargv. Simply scans
through the vector, freeing the memory for each argument until the
terminating NULL is found, and then frees the vector itself.
RETURNS
No value.

NAME
buildargv -- build an argument vector from a string
SYNOPSIS
char **buildargv (sp)
char *sp;
DESCRIPTION
Given a pointer to a string, parse the string extracting fields
separated by whitespace and optionally enclosed within either single
or double quotes (which are stripped off), and build a vector of
pointers to copies of the string for each field. The input string
remains unchanged.
All of the memory for the pointer array and copies of the string
is obtained from malloc. All of the memory can be returned to the
system with the single function call freeargv, which takes the
returned result of buildargv, as it's argument.
The memory for the argv array is dynamically expanded as necessary.
RETURNS
Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful. Returns NULL
if the input string pointer is NULL or if there is insufficient
memory to complete building the argument vector.
NOTES
In order to provide a working buffer for extracting arguments into,
with appropriate stripping of quotes and translation of backslash
sequences, we allocate a working buffer at least as long as the input
string. This ensures that we always have enough space in which to
work, since the extracted arg is never larger than the input string.
If the input is a null string (as opposed to a NULL pointer), then
buildarg returns an argv that has one arg, a null string.
Argv is always kept terminated with a NULL arg pointer, so it can
be passed to freeargv at any time, or returned, as appropriate.
