optionLoadLine(3)						Programmer's Manual						 optionLoadLine(3)

NAME

       optionLoadLine - process a string for an option name and value

SYNOPSIS

       #include <your-opts.h>
       cc [...] -o outfile infile.c -lopts [...]

       void optionLoadLine(tOptions* pOpts, char const* pzLine);

DESCRIPTION

       This is a client program callable routine for setting options from, for example, the contents of a file that they read in.  Only one option
       may appear in the text.	It will be treated as a normal (non-preset) option.

       When passed a pointer to the option struct and a string, it will find the option named by the first token on the string and set the  option
       argument  to the remainder of the string.  The caller must NUL terminate the string.  Any embedded new lines will be included in the option
       argument.  If the input looks like one or more quoted strings, then the input will be "cooked".	The "cooking" is identical to  the  string
       formation used in AutoGen definition files (@pxref{basic expression}), except that you may not use backquotes.

       pOpts  program options descriptor

       pzLine NUL-terminated text

ERRORS

       Invalid options are silently ignored.  Invalid option arguments will cause a warning to print, but the function should return.
