Mike Frysinger 2bf88a891f In Bug 5, Tito writes:
This is a first attempt to improve the comments of getopt_ulflags.c.
Maybe under some aspects the text could be refined, but so
far it is already usable and should help people who "avoided getopt_ulflags as the pest" to understand how it works.

This patch was created with the help of
Vodz, the author of the code, who explained me patiently
how getopt_ulflags works
and with the help of
Paul Fox, who corrected my broken english.

So thanks and merits should go to them also.

bb_getopt_ulflags (int argc, char **argv, const char *applet_opts, ...)
The command line options must be declared in const char
*applet_opts as a string of chars, for example:
flags = bb_getopt_ulflags(argc, argv, "rnug");
If one of the given options is found a flag value is added to
the unsigned long returned by bb_getopt_ulflags.
The value of this flag is given by the position of the char in
const char *applet_opts so for example in this case:
flags = bb_getopt_ulflags(argc, argv, "rnug");
"r" will add 1
"n" will add 2
"u will add 4
"g" will add 8
and so on.
If an argument is required by one of the options add a ":"
after the char in const char *applet_opts and provide a pointer
where the arg could be stored if it is found, for example:
char *pointer_to_arg_for_a;
char *pointer_to_arg_for_b;
char *pointer_to_arg_for_c;
char *pointer_to_arg_for_d;
flags = bb_getopt_ulflags(argc, argv, "a:b:c:d:",
&pointer_to_arg_for_a, &pointer_to_arg_for_b,
&pointer_to_arg_for_c, &pointer_to_arg_for_d);
The type of the pointer (char* or llist_t *) can be influenced
by the "*" special character that can be set in const char
*bb_opt_complementaly (see below).
const char *bb_opt_complementaly
":" The colon (":") is used in bb_opt_complementaly as separator
between groups of two or more chars and/or groups of chars and
special characters (stating some conditions to be checked).
"abc" If groups of two or more chars are specified the first char
is the main option and the other chars are secondary options
whose flags will be turned on if the main option is found even
if they are not specifed on the command line, for example:
bb_opt_complementaly = "abc";
flags = bb_getopt_ulflags(argc, argv, "abcd")
If getopt() finds "-a" on the command line, then
bb_getopt_ulflags's return value will be as if "-a -b -c" were
found.
Special characters:
"-" A dash between two options causes the second of the two
to be unset (and ignored) if it is given on the command line.
For example:
The du applet can have the options "-s" and "-d depth", if
bb_getopt_ulflags finds -s then -d is unset or if it finds -d
then -s is unset. (Note: busybox implements the GNU
"--max-depth" option as "-d".) In this case bb_getopt_ulflags's
return value has no error flag set (0x80000000UL). To achieve
this result you must set bb_opt_complementaly = "s-d:d-s".
Only one flag value is added to bb_getopt_ulflags's return
value depending on the position of the options on the command
line. If one of the two options requires an argument pointer
(":" in const char *applet_opts as in "d:") optarg is set
accordingly.
char *smax_print_depth;
bb_opt_complementaly = "s-d:d-s";
opt = bb_getopt_ulflags(argc, argv, "sd:" , &smax_print_depth);
if (opt & 2) {
max_print_depth = bb_xgetularg10_bnd(smax_print_depth,
0, INT_MAX);
}
"~" A tilde between two options or between an option and a group
of options means that they are mutually exclusive. Unlike
the "-" case above, an error will be forced if the options
are used together.
For example:
The cut applet must have only one type of list specified, so
-b, -c and -f are mutally exclusive and should raise an error
if specified together. In this case you must set
bb_opt_complementaly = "b~cf:c~bf:f~bc". If two of the
mutually exclusive options are found, bb_getopt_ulflags's
return value will have the error flag set (0x80000000UL) so
that we can check for it:
if ((flags & 0x80000000UL)
bb_show_usage();
"*" A star after a char in bb_opt_complementaly means that the
option can occur multiple times:
For example:
The grep applet can have one or more "-e pattern" arguments.
In this case you should use bb_getopt_ulflags() as follows:
llist_t *patterns=NULL;
(this pointer must be initializated to NULL if the list is empty
as required by *llist_add_to(llist_t *old_head, char *new_item).)
bb_opt_complementaly = "e*";
bb_getopt_ulflags (argc, argv, "e:", &patterns);
grep -e user -e root /etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
user:x:500:500::/home/user:/bin/bash
