<h4><a name="tag_03_253_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>getsubopt</i>() function shall parse suboption arguments in a flag argument. Such options often result from the use of <a
href="../functions/getopt.html"><i>getopt</i>()</a>.</p>
<p>The <i>getsubopt</i>() argument <i>optionp</i> is a pointer to a pointer to the option argument string. The suboption arguments
shall be separated by commas and each may consist of either a single token, or a token-value pair separated by an equal sign.</p>
<p>The <i>keylistp</i> argument shall be a pointer to a vector of strings. The end of the vector is identified by a null pointer.
Each entry in the vector is one of the possible tokens that might be found in *<i>optionp</i>. Since commas delimit suboption
arguments in <i>optionp</i>, they should not appear in any of the strings pointed to by <i>keylistp</i>. Similarly, because an
equal sign separates a token from its value, the application should not include an equal sign in any of the strings pointed to by
<i>keylistp</i>.</p>
<p>The <i>valuep</i> argument is the address of a value string pointer.</p>
<p>If a comma appears in <i>optionp</i>, it shall be interpreted as a suboption separator. After commas have been processed, if
there are one or more equal signs in a suboption string, the first equal sign in any suboption string shall be interpreted as a
separator between a token and a value. Subsequent equal signs in a suboption string shall be interpreted as part of the value.</p>
<p>If the string at *<i>optionp</i> contains only one suboption argument (equivalently, no commas), <i>getsubopt</i>() shall update
*<i>optionp</i> to point to the null character at the end of the string. Otherwise, it shall isolate the suboption argument by
replacing the comma separator with a null character, and shall update *<i>optionp</i> to point to the start of the next suboption
argument. If the suboption argument has an associated value (equivalently, contains an equal sign), <i>getsubopt</i>() shall update
*<i>valuep</i> to point to the value's first character. Otherwise, it shall set *<i>valuep</i> to a null pointer. The calling
application may use this information to determine whether the presence or absence of a value for the suboption is an error.</p>
<p>Additionally, when <i>getsubopt</i>() fails to match the suboption argument with a token in the <i>keylistp</i> array, the
calling application should decide if this is an error, or if the unrecognized option should be processed in another way.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_253_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>getsubopt</i>() function shall return the index of the matched token string, or -1 if no token strings were matched.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_253_05"></a>ERRORS</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>No errors are defined.</p>
