- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <wordexp.h>
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- .IR <wordexp.h>
- header shall define the structures and symbolic constants used by the
- \fIwordexp\fR()
- and
- \fIwordfree\fR()
- functions.
- .P
- The
- .IR <wordexp.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR wordexp_t
- structure type, which shall include at least the following members:
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- size_t we_wordc \fRCount of words matched by \fIwords.\fR
- char **we_wordv \fRPointer to list of expanded words.\fR
- size_t we_offs \fRSlots to reserve at the beginning of \fIwe_wordv.\fR
- .fi
- .P
- .RE
- .P
- The
- .IR <wordexp.h>
- header shall define the following symbolic constants for use as flags
- for the
- \fIwordexp\fR()
- function:
- .IP WRDE_APPEND 14
- Append words to those previously generated.
- .IP WRDE_DOOFFS 14
- Number of null pointers to prepend to
- .IR we_wordv .
- .IP WRDE_NOCMD 14
- Fail if command substitution is requested.
- .IP WRDE_REUSE 14
- The
- .IR pwordexp
- argument was passed to a previous successful call to
- \fIwordexp\fR(),
- and has not been passed to
- \fIwordfree\fR().
- The result is the same as if the application had called
- \fIwordfree\fR()
- and then called
- \fIwordexp\fR()
- without WRDE_REUSE.
- .IP WRDE_SHOWERR 14
- Do not redirect
- .IR stderr
- to
- .BR /dev/null .
- .IP WRDE_UNDEF 14
- Report error on an attempt to expand an undefined shell variable.
- .P
- The
- .IR <wordexp.h>
- header shall define the following symbolic constants as error
- return values:
- .IP WRDE_BADCHAR 14
- One of the unquoted characters\(em\c
- <newline>,
- .BR '|' ,
- .BR '&' ,
- .BR ';' ,
- .BR '<' ,
- .BR '>' ,
- .BR '(' ,
- .BR ')' ,
- .BR '{' ,
- .BR '}' \(em\c
- appears in
- .IR words
- in an inappropriate context.
- .IP WRDE_BADVAL 14
- Reference to undefined shell variable when WRDE_UNDEF is set in
- .IR flags .
- .IP WRDE_CMDSUB 14
- Command substitution requested when WRDE_NOCMD was set in
- .IR flags .
- .IP WRDE_NOSPACE 14
- Attempt to allocate memory failed.
- .IP WRDE_SYNTAX 14
- Shell syntax error, such as unbalanced parentheses or unterminated string.
- .P
- The
- .IR <wordexp.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR size_t
- type as described in
- .IR <stddef.h> .
- .P
- The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
- macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- int wordexp(const char *restrict, wordexp_t *restrict, int);
- void wordfree(wordexp_t *);
