The last option in an array MUST be NULL. When the name is empty (""), then this option is used to collect remaining command-line arguments, such as file names and so on. selections: either must be NULL to define a boolean option. In this case selected=0 is false and selected=1 is true. or a space-delimited string of option values. In this case 'selected' is set to # word in list. or a single-word description for option values. In this case the argument is stored in 'value' field. selected: word index in 'selections' list, or 0/1 for boolean option, or max length of string value a user can enter (see below). value: the (default) string value of option Example: static struct option options[] = { { "c.compress", NULL }, on/off option (-c turns it on) { "e.endpoint", "URL" }, this option requires an argument value { "name", "alphanum", 20, "demo" }, this option requires an argument value. The default value will be "demo". The HTML slot will be 20 chars wide. { "action", "start finish" }, this option requires an argument "start" or "finish" { "", "file1 file2 ..." }, collect remaining arguments { NULL }, end of table }; Functionality: int parse_options(int argc, char **argv, struct option *options) Parses options from the command line (argc, argv). When the command line options include the '-?' and '-help', a diagnostic 'Usage:' message is produced and the function returns 1 instead of a normal 0 return value. void query_options(struct soap *soap, struct option *options) Parses options from the HTTP query string. This requires linking the httpget plugin. The function is normally called in the HTTP GET handler. int save_options(const char *file, const char *name, struct option *options) Saves an array of options to a file. The last option in the 'options' array MUST have a NULL name to delimit the array. Options are saved in XML format. int load_options(const char *file, const char *name, struct option *options) Parses options from a file saved with save_options(). The last option in the 'options' array MUST have a NULL name to delimit the array. int html_options(struct soap *soap, struct option *options) Produces an HTML table with options and form submit buttons to interactively change options through a Web page. The table is output via soap_send() which uses the current soap.socket or soap.sendfd descriptors. The table should be produced within a form, see also html_form_options(). The HTML table uses the following picture files: checked.gif check box (checked) unchecked.gif check box (unchecked) selected.gif radio button (selected) deselected.gif radio button (deselected) int html_form_options(struct soap *soap, struct option *options) Produces an HTML form with action='' and method='get' (to send the request back to the current service. An HTML option table is produced within the form. */ struct option { const char *name; /* name */ const char *selections; /* NULL (option does not require argument), or one-word description, or selection of possible values (separated by spaces) */ int selected; /* >=0: current selection in selections list */ char *value; /* parsed value (when 'selections' is one name) */ }; extern struct option *copy_options(const struct option *options); extern void free_options(struct option *options); extern int parse_options(int argc, char **argv, struct option *options); extern void query_options(struct soap *soap, struct option *options); extern int save_options(const char *file, const char *name, struct option *options); extern int load_options(const char *file, const char *name, struct option *options); extern int html_options(struct soap *soap, struct option *options); extern int html_form_options(struct soap *soap, struct option *options);
