This is a convenience function for parsing account options, as received by the callback function invoked by auth_generic(3), auth_login(3), auth_getuserinfo(3), and auth_passwd(3).
options is the
options
field from
authinfo
(which can be NULL).
As described in
auth_generic(3)
(and the others), it is a comma-separated list of
"keyword=value"
pairs.
auth_getoption searches options for a keyword.
If
options does not have the
keyword,
auth_getoption returns NULL with
errno
set to ENOENT.
Otherwise
auth_getoption allocates a buffer for
value, and returns it.
It is the caller's responsibility to
free(3)
the returned buffer.
auth_getoption returns NULL with
errno
set to ENOMEM if it cannot
allocate a buffer.
