/**
|
|
* The argv-array API allows one to dynamically build and store
|
|
* NULL-terminated lists. An argv-array maintains the invariant that the
|
|
* `argv` member always points to a non-NULL array, and that the array is
|
|
* always NULL-terminated at the element pointed to by `argv[argc]`. This
|
|
* makes the result suitable for passing to functions expecting to receive
|
|
* argv from main().
|
|
*
|
|
* The string-list API (documented in string-list.h) is similar, but cannot be
|
|
* used for these purposes; instead of storing a straight string pointer,
|
|
* it contains an item structure with a `util` field that is not compatible
|
|
* with the traditional argv interface.
|
|
*
|
|
* Each `argv_array` manages its own memory. Any strings pushed into the
|
|
* array are duplicated, and all memory is freed by argv_array_clear().
