[PATCH v6 01/11] argv_array: offer to split a string by whitespace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is a simple function that will interpret a string as a whitespace
delimited list of values, and add those values into the array.

Note: this function does not (yet) offer to split by arbitrary delimiters,
or keep empty values in case of runs of whitespace, or de-quote Unix shell
style. All fo this functionality can be added later, when and if needed.
