- /* chrarg -- parse character and return its index
- *
- * Usage: i = chrarg (ptr,brk,prompt,legals,defalt);
- * int i;
- * char **ptr,*brk,*prompt,*legals,defalt;
- *
- * Chrarg will parse an argument from the string pointed to by "ptr",
- * bumping ptr to point to the next argument. The first character
- * of the arg will be searched for in "legals", and its index
- * returned; if it is not found, or if there is no argument, then
- * getchr() will be used to ask the user for a character.
- * "Brk" is the list of characters which may terminate an argument;
- * if it is 0, then " " is used.
- *
- * HISTORY
- * $Log: chrarg.c,v $
- * Revision 1.2 90/12/11 17:50:49 mja
- * Add copyright/disclaimer for distribution.
