SYNOPSIS
char *parse_cmd(char *argv[], const char *cmd)
ARGUMENTS
argv: Pointer array to be filled with command tokens cmd: Raw command string with limited meta-character support from strshellcpy(3)
DESCRIPTION
Breaks a shell command into an argv[] style array suitable for spawnvp() or execv*(). A copy of cmd is created using strshellcpy(), which expands certain shell features such as variables and paths starting with '~'. The copy is then modified by replacing separators with '0' and the argv[] array is populated with pointers to each token in the copy.RETURN VALUES
Pointer to strdup() copy of cmd, which should be freed as soon as possible when argv[] is no longer needed.EXAMPLES
char *cmd, *argv[], *expanded_cmd; expanded_cmd = parse_cmd(argv, cmd); spawnvp(P_WAIT, P_NOECHO, argv, NULL, NULL, NULL); free(expanded_cmd);
