An assortment of functions used to manipulate files and directories.

Function Documentation

void conf_option	(	char *	ln,
		char **	keyword_start,
		char **	item_start
	)

extract info from a line of a configuration file

Given a line of a configuration file, such as "key value", separates the key from the value, and returns strings of each. Note ln is no longer a valid string. If ln is on the heap, it must be freed in an appropriate manner, which frees the strings pointed to by keyword_start and item_start. ln must be freed if it is on the heap, regardless of the output of this function.

Parameters

[in]	ln	a line of a configuration file
[out]	keyword_start	where to place the keyword string, or null if no items found
[out]	item_start	where to place the item string, or null if no item found
