HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE USE OF SHHOPT:


#include <shhopt.h>
int
main ( int argc, char **argv ) {

    /* initial values here are just to demonstrate what gets set and
       what doesn't by the code below.
    */
    unsigned int heightSpec =7;
    unsigned int nameSpec= 7;
    char *name= "initial";
    int height=7;
    int verboseFlag=7;
    int debugFlag=7;
    char ** methodlist;
    struct optNameValue * optlist;

    optStruct3 opt;
    unsigned int option_def_index = 0;
    optEntry * option_def;
    MALLOCARRAY(option_def, 100);

    OPTENT3(0,   "height",   OPT_INT,        &height,       &heightSpec,  0);
    OPTENT3('n', "name",     OPT_STRING,     &name,         &nameSpec,    0);
    OPTENT3('v', "verbose",  OPT_FLAG,       &verboseFlag,  NULL,         0);
    OPTENT3('g', "debug",    OPT_FLAG,       &debugFlag,    NULL,         0);
    OPTENT3(0,   "methods",  OPT_STRINGLIST, &methodlist,   &methodSpec,  0);
    OPTENT3(0,   "options",  OPT_NAMELIST,   &optlist,      &optSpec,     0);

    opt.opt_table = option_def;
    opt.short_allowed = 1;
    opt.allowNegNum = 1;


    pm_optParseOptions3(&argc, argv, opt, sizeof(opt), 0);


    printf("argc=%d\n", argc);
    printf("height=%d\n", height);
    printf("height_spec=%d\n", heightSpec);
    printf("name='%s'\n", name);
    printf("name_spec=%d\n", nameSpec);
    printf("verbose_flag=%d\n", verboseFlag);
    printf("debug_flag=%d\n", verboseFlag);

    if (methodSpec) {
        unsigned int i;
        printf("methods: ");
        while (methodlist[i]) {
            printf("'%s', ", methodlist[i]);
            ++i;
        }
        free(methodlist);
    } else
        printf("No -options\n");

    if (optSpec) {
        unsigned int i;
        while (optlist[i].name) {
            printf("option '%s' = '%s'\n", optlist[i].name, optlist[i].value);
            ++i;
        }
        pm_optDestroyNameValueList(optlist);
    } else
        printf("No -options\n");
}

Now run this program with something like

  myprog -vg --name=Bryan --hei 4 "My first argument" --verbose

  or do it with opt.short_allowed=0 and

  myprog -v /etc/passwd -name=Bryan --hei=4


  If your program takes no options (so you have no OPTENT3 macro invocations),
  you need an OPTENTINIT call to establish the empty option table:

    optEntry * option_def;
    unsigned int option_def_index;
    MALLOCARRAY(option_def, 1);
    OPTENTINIT;
