An argv-array maintains the invariant that the -`argv` member always points to a non-NULL array, and that the array is -always NULL-terminated at the element pointed to by `argv[argc]`. This -makes the result suitable for passing to functions expecting to receive -argv from main(), or the link:api-run-command.html[run-command API]. - -The string-list API (documented in string-list.h) is similar, but cannot be -used for these purposes; instead of storing a straight string pointer, -it contains an item structure with a `util` field that is not compatible -with the traditional argv interface. - -Each `argv_array` manages its own memory. Any strings pushed into the -array are duplicated, and all memory is freed by argv_array_clear(). - -Data Structures ---------------- - -`struct argv_array`:: - - A single array. This should be initialized by assignment from - `ARGV_ARRAY_INIT`, or by calling `argv_array_init`. The `argv` - member contains the actual array; the `argc` member contains the - number of elements in the array, not including the terminating - NULL. - -Functions ---------- - -`argv_array_init`:: - Initialize an array. This is no different than assigning from - `ARGV_ARRAY_INIT`. - -`argv_array_push`:: - Push a copy of a string onto the end of the array. - -`argv_array_pushl`:: - Push a list of strings onto the end of the array. The arguments - should be a list of `const char *` strings, terminated by a NULL - argument. - -`argv_array_pushf`:: - Format a string and push it onto the end of the array. This is a - convenience wrapper combining `strbuf_addf` and `argv_array_push`. - -`argv_array_pushv`:: - Push a null-terminated array of strings onto the end of the array. - -`argv_array_pop`:: - Remove the final element from the array. If there are no - elements in the array, do nothing. - -`argv_array_clear`:: - Free all memory associated with the array and return it to the - initial, empty state. - -`argv_array_detach`:: - Disconnect the `argv` member from the `argv_array` struct and - return it. The caller is responsible for freeing the memory used - by the array, and by the strings it references. After detaching, - the `argv_array` is in a reinitialized state and can be pushed - into again. |
