NAME
ParseArgs - easier interface to ReadArgs()
SYNOPSIS
ParseArgs(template, args)
A0 A1
FuncArgs *ParseArgs(char *, char *);
FUNCTION
This routine makes it much more straightforward to use ReadArgs() to
parse an argument string. Using ReadArgs to parse a string requires
you to allocate and initialise a RDArgs structure and argument
array structure, and also requires the argument string to have a
newline character. This function automates this process for you.
INPUTS
template - pointer to ReadArgs template string
args - pointer to argument string (need not have a newline)
RESULT
If successful, this function returns a FuncArgs structure. This
structure has several fields, but the useful ones are :
FA_Arguments
This is the argument array you should use. It is an array
of long *, each member of which points to the argument result
for the corresponding template entry. If you need to modify
any of the values in this array you can, as it is just a copy
of the real array.
FA_Count
This contains the number of arguments in the template. Opus
counts the arguments in the template and initialises the
argument array accordingly.
The strings supplied to this function are not needed once the
function has returned.
NOTES
You should use this routine when parsing arguments supplied to
your Opus modules.

NAME
DisposeArgs - free a FuncArgs structure
SYNOPSIS
DisposeArgs(funcargs)
A0
void DisposeArgs(FuncArgs *);
FUNCTION
This function frees the FuncArgs structure returned by ParseArgs().
INPUTS
funcargs - pointer to FuncArgs structure to free
RESULT
The structure is free. Once you have freed it, none of the arguments
remain valid, so you should make local copies of anything you need
to refer to.
