  5. ;       This INCLUDE file implements a PSP command line parser of
  6. ;       the following command line syntax:
  7. ;
  8. ;       <byte count> [leading delims][ / [cmd1 [cmd2 cmd3] / ][ <string> ]
  9. ;
  10. ;       where:
  11. ;
  12. ;               <byte count>    is a mandatory one-byte count of the rest of
  13. ;                               the characters in the command line.
  14. ;                               The byte count may be zero (null cmd line).
  15. ;
  16. ;               leading delims  are leading blanks or tabs before the first
  17. ;                               slash or the first non-blank character of
  18. ;                               <string>.
  19. ;
  20. ;               cmdi            is the ith one-character command code following
  21. ;                               the first "/" encountered on the line.  These
  22. ;                               commands are executed as they are encountered
  23. ;                               during the left-to-right parsing of the line.
  24. ;
  25. ;               <string>        all characters, including any blanks or tabs,
  26. ;                               that follow the second slash if present; or
  27. ;                               all characters that follow leading blanks or
  28. ;                               tabs, if no slashes are present.
  29. ;
  30. ;
  31. ;       on entry, this code expects the following register values:
  32. ;
  33. ;               SI =    offset of the byte count (the first byte of the line)
  34. ;
  35. ;       this code trashes the following registers:
  36. ;
  37. ;               AX, BX, CX, DX, possibly BP
  38. ;
  39. ;       this parser discards any leading delimiters up to the first optional
  40. ;       slash.  It then decodes and executes any valid one-character commands
  41. ;       found between the first and second slash encountered.  The definition
  42. ;       and execution of the commands is table driven, a table interface is
  43. ;       provided by the host program that INCLUDEs this code.  When the second
  44. ;       slash is encountered, parsing is done.  The CX register contains the
  45. ;       number of string characters left after the second slash (including
  46. ;       delimiters) or, if no slashes are encountered before the first non-
  47. ;       delimiter, the number of string characters starting at the first non-
  48. ;       delimiter.  The BX register points to the corresponding character,
  49. ;       relative to [SI].
