Been a while since my last post. Had a laptop die with my last project and still working to get it back. In the meantime I started another.
In my main function I define some arguments with getopt:
The above is missing some optional arguments for brevity. Since there were optional arguments, I found I would need to use a variadic function with something like this:
Looking at these I could see they were very similar with their switch statements. Instead of calling a function from main and then using that function to call the variadic function, it seems there should be a way to combine them. I'm just having trouble getting the logic/syntax for this and not finding much with my google searches.
I'm using getopt() to get command line options.One the optons accepts and argument.The argument is and offset.I was wondering how can I scecify that it's argument is of the type off_t.I've something like this "offset=(off_t)optarg" and it don't work. (1 Reply)

Hi All,
An old work friend wrote a script which I've been trying to understand how a section of it currently works and work out how i can add some command line switches which i can use later in the script to append the output depending on the command line arguements.
Currently it works by... (1 Reply)
