140
141Given a pointer to a string, parse the string extracting fields
142separated by whitespace and optionally enclosed within either single
143or double quotes (which are stripped off), and build a vector of
144pointers to copies of the string for each field. The input string
145remains unchanged. The last element of the vector is followed by a
146@code{NULL} element.
147
148All of the memory for the pointer array and copies of the string
149is obtained from @code{malloc}. All of the memory can be returned to the
150system with the single function call @code{freeargv}, which takes the
151returned result of @code{buildargv}, as it's argument.
152
153Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful. Returns
154@code{NULL} if @var{sp} is @code{NULL} or if there is insufficient
155memory to complete building the argument vector.
156
157If the input is a null string (as opposed to a @code{NULL} pointer),
158then buildarg returns an argument vector that has one arg, a null
159string.
160
161@end deftypefn
162
163The memory for the argv array is dynamically expanded as necessary.
164
165In order to provide a working buffer for extracting arguments into,
166with appropriate stripping of quotes and translation of backslash
167sequences, we allocate a working buffer at least as long as the input
168string. This ensures that we always have enough space in which to
169work, since the extracted arg is never larger than the input string.
170
171The argument vector is always kept terminated with a @code{NULL} arg
172pointer, so it can be passed to @code{freeargv} at any time, or
173returned, as appropriate.
