◆ register_exit()

void register_exit ( void(*)(int ret cb)

Register a program-specific cleanup routine.

Definition at line 88 of file cmdutils.c.

Referenced by main().

◆ report_and_exit()

void report_and_exit ( int  ret)

Reports an error corresponding to the provided AVERROR code and calls exit_program() with the corresponding POSIX error code.

Note
ret must be an AVERROR-value of a POSIX error code (i.e. AVERROR(EFOO) and not AVERROR_FOO). library functions can return both, so call this only with AVERROR(EFOO) of your own.

◆ split_commandline()

int split_commandline ( OptionParseContext octx,
int  argc,
char *  argv[],
const OptionDef options,
const OptionGroupDef groups,
int  nb_groups

Split the commandline into an intermediate form convenient for further processing.

The commandline is assumed to be composed of options which either belong to a group (those with OPT_SPEC, OPT_OFFSET or OPT_PERFILE) or are global (everything else).

A group (defined by an OptionGroupDef struct) is a sequence of options terminated by either a group separator option (e.g. -i) or a parameter that is not an option (doesn't start with -). A group without a separator option must always be first in the supplied groups list.

All options within the same group are stored in one OptionGroup struct in an OptionGroupList, all groups with the same group definition are stored in one OptionGroupList in OptionParseContext.groups. The order of group lists is the same as the order of group definitions.
