| Description: | In working on several applications, I have noticed there's a fair amount of heavy lifting regarding parsing of parameters and config files; all of it is pretty much based on simple pointer manipulation, strcpy/strchr, and is fairly unforgiving (using ',' instead of '|' as a delimiter will fail, etc). Suggest that a simple library of parameter parsing routines (a la getopt) and a config file parsing mechanism be used to standardize behavior across all applications, reduce chances for bogus pointer references (*NULL), and the like. | ||
