It initializes some internal data, but it also changes +the current working directory so that the running process is in the same +directory as the location of the process. For example if your build script is +called `make` and you call it as `./build/make`, this function will change your +working directory to `./build`. + +--- + +```c +#define rebuild() /* … */ +``` + +Should be called right after `cbsinit()`. This function-like macro checks to +see if the build script is outdated compared to its source file. If it finds +that the build script is outdated it rebuilds it before executing the new build +script. + +### String Array Types and Functions + +The following types and functions all work on dynamically-allocated arrays of +string, which make gradually composing a complete command that can be executed +very simple. + +--- + +```c +struct strs { + char **buf; + size_t len, cap; +}; +``` + +A type representing a dynamic array of strings. The `len` and `cap` fields hold +the length and capacity of the string array respectively, and the `buf` field is +the actual array itself. Despite being a sized array, `buf` is also guaranteed +by all the functions that act on this structure to always be null-terminated. + +There is no initialization function for the `strs` structure. To initialize the +structure simply zero-initialize it: + +```c +int +main(int argc, char **argv) +{ + /* … */ + struct strs cmd = {0}; + strspush(&cmd, "cc"); + /* … */ +} +``` + +--- + +```c +void strsfree(struct strs *xs) +``` + +Deallocates all memory associated with the string array `xs`. Note that this +does **not** deallocate memory associated with the individual elements in the +string array — that must still be done manually. + +This function also zeros `xs` after freeing memory, so that the same structure +can be safely reused afterwards. + +--- + +```c +void strszero(struct strs *xs) +``` + +Zeros the string array `xs` **without** deallocating any memory used by the +string array. This allows you to reuse the same structure for a different +purpose without needing to reallocate a fresh new array, instead reusing the old +one. + +--- + +```c +void strspush(struct strs *xs, char **ys, size_t n) +``` + +Append `n` strings from the string array `ys` to the end of `xs`. + +--- + +```c +#define strspushl(xs, ...) /* … */ +``` + +Append the strings specified by the provided variable-arguments to the end of +`xs`. + +--- + +```c +void strspushenv(struct strs *xs, const char *ev, char **ys, size_t n) +``` + +Append the value of the environment variable `ev` to the end of `xs`. If the +provided environment variable doesn’t exist or has the value of the empty +string, then fallback to appending `n` strings from `ys` to the end of `xs`. + +--- + +```c +#define strspushenvl(xs, ev, ...) +``` + +Append the value of the environment variable `ev` to the end of `xs`. If the +provided environment variable doesn’t exist or has the value of the empty +string, then fallback to appending the strings specified by the provided +variable-arguments to the end of `xs`. -- cgit v1.2.3
