/*
 * argv_parse.h --- header file for the argv parser.
 *
 * This file defines the interface for the functions argv_parse() and
 * argv_free().
 * 
 ***********************************************************************
 * int argv_parse(char *in_buf, int *ret_argc, char ***ret_argv)
 *
 * This function takes as its first argument a string which it will
 * parse into an argv argument vector, with each white-space separated
 * word placed into its own slot in the argv.  This function handles
 * double quotes and backslashes so that the parsed words can contain
 * special characters.   The count of the number words found in the
 * parsed string, as well as the argument vector, are returned into
 * ret_argc and ret_argv, respectively.
 ***********************************************************************
 * extern void argv_free(char **argv);
 * 
 * This function frees the argument vector created by argv_parse().
