SetArgStr

The SetArgStr method sets a named string argument for the current expression command.

bool
  ExtExtension::SetArgStr(
    IN PCSTR  Name,
    IN PCSTR  Arg,
    IN bool  OnlyIfUnset = false
    ) throw(...)

Parameters

Name

Specifies the name of the argument. The command-line description used in EXT_COMMAND must specify that the type of this argument is string.

Arg

A string that specifies the value of the named argument. A pointer to the first non-space character is saved as the argument. In this case, Arg must not be NULL.

OnlyIfUnset

Specifies what happens if the argument is already set. If OnlyIfUnset is true and the argument has already been set, the argument will not be changed. If OnlyIfUnset is false and the argument has already been set, the argument will be changed.

Return Value

SetArgStr returns true if the argument was changed; false otherwise.
