- /* boolarg -- parse boolean from string
- *
- * Usage: i = boolarg (ptr,brk,prompt,defalt);
- * int i,defalt;
- * char **ptr,*brk,*prompt;
- *
- * Boolarg will parse an argument from the string pointed to by "ptr",
- * bumping ptr to point to the next argument in the string. The
- * argument parsed will be converted to a boolean (TRUE if it begins
- * with 'y' or 'Y'; FALSE for 'n' or 'N'). If there is no
- * argument, or if it is not a boolean value, then getbool() will
- * be used to ask the user for a boolean value. In any event,
- * the boolean value obtained (from the string or from the user) is
- * returned.
- * "Brk" is the list of characters which may terminate an argument;
- * if 0, then " " is used.
- *
