+@deftypefn Extension char** dupargv (char **@var{vector})
- dupargv -- duplicate an argument vector
+Duplicate an argument vector. Simply scans through @var{vector},
+duplicating each argument until the terminating @code{NULL} is found.
+Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful. Returns
+@code{NULL} if there is insufficient memory to complete building the
+argument vector.
-SYNOPSIS
-
- char **dupargv (vector)
- char **vector;
-
-DESCRIPTION
-
- Duplicate an argument vector. Simply scans through the
- vector, duplicating each argument until the
- terminating NULL is found.
-
-RETURNS
-
- Returns a pointer to the argument vector if
- successful. Returns NULL if there is insufficient memory to
- complete building the argument vector.

-DESCRIPTION
+@deftypefn Extension char** buildargv (char *@var{sp})
- Given a pointer to a string, parse the string extracting fields
- separated by whitespace and optionally enclosed within either single
- or double quotes (which are stripped off), and build a vector of
- pointers to copies of the string for each field. The input string
- remains unchanged.
+Given a pointer to a string, parse the string extracting fields
+separated by whitespace and optionally enclosed within either single
+or double quotes (which are stripped off), and build a vector of
+pointers to copies of the string for each field. The input string
+remains unchanged. The last element of the vector is followed by a
+@code{NULL} element.
- All of the memory for the pointer array and copies of the string
- is obtained from malloc. All of the memory can be returned to the
- system with the single function call freeargv, which takes the
- returned result of buildargv, as it's argument.

- The memory for the argv array is dynamically expanded as necessary.
+Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful. Returns
+@code{NULL} if @var{sp} is @code{NULL} or if there is insufficient
+memory to complete building the argument vector.
-RETURNS
+If the input is a null string (as opposed to a @code{NULL} pointer),
+then buildarg returns an argument vector that has one arg, a null
+string.
- Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful. Returns NULL
- if the input string pointer is NULL or if there is insufficient
- memory to complete building the argument vector.
+@end deftypefn
-NOTES
+The memory for the argv array is dynamically expanded as necessary.
- In order to provide a working buffer for extracting arguments into,
- with appropriate stripping of quotes and translation of backslash
- sequences, we allocate a working buffer at least as long as the input
- string. This ensures that we always have enough space in which to
- work, since the extracted arg is never larger than the input string.
