optionRestore(3)

optionRestore3

Restore option state from memory copy

Usage

#include <your-opts.h>
cc [...] -o outfile infile.c -lopts [...]

void optionRestore(tOptions * pOpts);

Overview

Copy back the option state from saved memory. The allocated memory is left intact, so this routine can be called repeatedly without having to call optionSaveState again. If you are restoring a state that was saved before the first call to optionProcess(3AO), then you may change the contents of the argc/argv parameters to optionProcess.

pOpts

program options descriptor

Errors

If you have not called optionSaveState before, a diagnostic is printed to stderr and exit is called.
