Hi Hackers Ref.: man 3 getopt int getopt(int argc, char * const argv[], const char *optstring);
Ref.: K&R 2nd Ed P.211 last indent, 2nd sentence The purpose of const is to announce objjects that may be placed in read-only memory, and perhaps to increas opportunities for optimization optstring is obviously const, but I don't see that argv can calim to be const ? Did some ISO standard redefine const ? If so URL please ? (I learnt my C from K&R #1 decades ago :-) Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com Reply below indented '> ' original, to read like a play script, in order.
