/*
 * argv_parse.c --- utility function for parsing a string into a
 * 	argc, argv array.
 *
 * This file defines a function argv_parse() which parsing a
 * passed-in string, handling double quotes and backslashes, and
 * creates an allocated argv vector which can be freed using the
 * argv_free() function.
 *
 * See argv_parse.h for the formal definition of the functions.
