Method
GLibOptionContextparse_strv
since: 2.40
Declaration [src]
gboolean
g_option_context_parse_strv (
GOptionContext* context,
gchar*** arguments,
GError** error
)
Description [src]
Parses the command line arguments.
This function is similar to g_option_context_parse()
except that it
respects the normal memory rules when dealing with a strv instead of
assuming that the passed-in array is the argv of the main function.
In particular, strings that are removed from the arguments list will be freed using g_free().
On Windows, the strings are expected to be in UTF-8. This is in
contrast to g_option_context_parse()
which expects them to be in the
system codepage, which is how they are passed as argv
to main().
See g_win32_get_command_line()
for a solution.
This function is useful if you are trying to use GOptionContext
with
GApplication
.
Available since: 2.40
Parameters
arguments
-
Type: An array of
gchar**
A pointer to the command line arguments (which must be in UTF-8 on Windows). Starting with GLib 2.62,
arguments
can beNULL
, which matches g_option_context_parse().The argument will be modified by the function. The argument can be NULL
.The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it. Each element is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. 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 aNULL
GError*
.The argument will be left initialized to NULL
by the method 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.
