20 * If a hyphen was found in get_option, this will handle the

72 * get_options - Parse a string into a list of integers
73 * @str: String to be parsed
74 * @nints: size of integer array
75 * @ints: integer array
77 * This function parses a string containing a comma-separated
78 * list of integers, a hyphen-separated range of _positive_ integers,
79 * or a combination of both. The parse halts when the array is
80 * full, or when no more numbers can be retrieved from the
83 * Return value is the character in the string which caused
84 * the parse to end (typically a null terminator, if @str is
85 * completely parseable).

93 res = get_option ((char **)&str, ints + i);

102 * Decrement the result by one to leave out the
103 * last number in the range. The next iteration
104 * will handle the upper number in the range
106 i += (range_nums - 1);
117 * memparse - parse a string with mem suffixes into a number
118 * @ptr: Where parse begins
119 * @retptr: (output) Optional pointer to next char after parse completes
121 * Parses a string into a number. The number stored at @ptr is
122 * potentially suffixed with %K (for kilobytes, or 1024 bytes),
123 * %M (for megabytes, or 1048576 bytes), or %G (for gigabytes, or
124 * 1073741824). If the number is suffixed with K, M, or G, then
125 * the return value is the number multiplied by one kilobyte, one
126 * megabyte, or one gigabyte, respectively.
