Command Line Argument parsing module for C02 Programs
This is module provides functions for parsing command line arguments
passed into a program.
Although 6502 based computers rarely use a shell interface, this module
allows arguments to be specified when executing a program on several
popular systems.
On the Apple I, the syntax is
0300R arg1 arg2 arg3 ...
and on Commodore computers, the syntax is
RUN:"arg1 arg2 arg3 ...
At the beginning of the program use the directives
#include <stddef.h02>
#include <args.h02>
The following functions are defined:
r = argset(); Sets up argument list for parsing. This function
must be called only once and before any calls to
the argget() function.
Returns 0 if successful, or 255 if no argument
list was specified or argument parsing is not
supported.
A result of success does not necessarily mean that
any arguments were passed, only that the program
was executed using the appropriate syntax.
n = argget(&s); Reads the next argument into string s.
Returns the length of the argument. After the
last argument, sets s to an empty string and
returns 0.
Note: Sets dstptr to the address of s.
Note: This library expects the following functions to be defined:
setdst(); Set destination pointer.
along with the zero page variable
dstptr Destination pointer.
the variables
sysbfr System buffer
sysbfp System buffer position.
and the constant
#SYSBFL System buffer length.
