NAME

aa_parseoptions - parse the standard command line options used by AA-lib.  

SYNOPSIS

#include <aalib.h>

int aa_parseoptions
(
       struct aa_hardware_params *p,

       aa_renderparams *r,

       int *argc,

       char **argv

);
 

PARAMETERS

struct aa_hardware_params *p
Hardware parameters structure to alter. It is expected that this structure only with necessary modifications will be later used to initialize the AA-lib context.
aa_renderparams *r
Rendering prameters structure to alter. It is expected that this structure only with necessary modifications will be later used to render images.
int *argc
Pointer to argc parameter passed to function "main".
char **argv
Pointer to argv parameter passed to function "main".
 

DESCRIPTION

Use this function to parse the standard command line options used by AA-lib. Every AA-lib program ought to call this function to let user specify some extra parameters. The function alters the aa_hardware_params and aa_renderparams structures and removes known options from the argc/argv lists. It also parse the AAOPTS environment variable. When called with NULL for the argc/argv parameters, it parses AAOPTS only. At least this call ought to be in every AA-lib program.  

RETURNS

1 when sucesfull and 0 on failure. The program then can print the help text available in aa_help variable.
