How about copying the entire argv[] array to a new location before the very first call to getopt(). Then you can use getopt() without hackery and can do anything you want to the "real" argv area. That should be a lot safer. (We don't know yet what other platforms might play optimization tricks in getopt().) -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://funkturm.homeip.net/~peter ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
