Function
GLibshell_parse_argv
Declaration [src]
gboolean
g_shell_parse_argv (
const gchar* command_line,
gint* argcp,
gchar*** argvp,
GError** error
)
Description [src]
Parses a command line into an argument vector, in much the same way the shell would, but without many of the expansions the shell would perform (variable expansion, globs, operators, filename expansion, etc. are not supported).
The results are defined to be the same as those you would get from
a UNIX98 /bin/sh, as long as the input contains none of the
unsupported shell expansions. If the input does contain such expansions,
they are passed through literally.
Possible errors are those from the G_SHELL_ERROR domain.
In particular, if command_line is an empty string (or a string containing
only whitespace), G_SHELL_ERROR_EMPTY_STRING will be returned. It’s
guaranteed that argvp will be a non-empty array if this function returns successfully.
Free the returned vector with g_strfreev().
Parameters
command_line-
Type:
const gchar*Command line to parse.
The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a platform-native string, using the preferred OS encoding on Unix and UTF-8 on Windows. argcp-
Type:
gint*Return location for number of args.
The argument will be set by the function. The argument can be NULL. argvp-
Type: An array of
filenamereturn location for array of args.
The argument will be set by the function. The argument can be NULL.The array must be NULL-terminated.The length of the array is specified in the argcpargument.The caller of the function takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it. Each element is a platform-native string, using the preferred OS encoding on Unix and UTF-8 on Windows.. error-
Type:
GError **The return location for a recoverable error.
The argument can be NULL.If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to aNULLGError*.The argument will be left initialized to NULLby the function if there are no errors.In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
