8.5.6 subblock option
This is the "subblock definition names" option.
This option has some usage constraints. It:
-
may appear an unlimited number of times.
This option is used to create shorthand entries for nested definitions.
For example, with:
- using subblock thus
--subblock=arg=argname,type,null
- and defining an
arg thus
arg: this, char *
- will then expand to:
arg = { argname = this; type = "char *"; };
The "this, char *" string is separated at the commas, with the
white space removed. You may use characters other than commas by
starting the value string with a punctuation character other than
a single or double quote character. You may also omit intermediate
values by placing the commas next to each other with no intervening
white space. For example, "+mumble++yes+" will expand to:
arg = { argname = mumble; null = "yes"; };.
