NAME

get_options - Parse a string into a list of integers  

SYNOPSIS

char * get_options(const char * str, int nints, int * ints);
 

ARGUMENTS

str

String to be parsed

nints

ints

integer array
 

DESCRIPTION

This function parses a string containing a comma-separated list of integers, a hyphen-separated range of _positive_ integers, or a combination of both. The parse halts when the array is full, or when no more numbers can be retrieved from the string.

Return value is the character in the string which caused the parse to end (typically a null terminator, if str is completely parseable).
