optionSaveFile(3)             Programmer's Manual            optionSaveFile(3)

NAME
       optionSaveFile - saves the option state to a file


SYNOPSIS
       #include <your-opts.h>
       cc [...] -o outfile infile.c -lopts [...]

       void optionSaveFile(tOptions * opts);


DESCRIPTION
       This routine will save the state of option processing to a file.  The
       name of that file can be specified with the argument to the --save-opts
       option, or by appending the rcfile attribute to the last homerc
       attribute.  If no rcfile attribute was specified, it will default to
       .programnamerc.  If you wish to specify another file, you should invoke
       the SET_OPT_SAVE_OPTS(filename) macro.

       The recommend usage is as follows:
           optionProcess(&progOptions, argc, argv);
           if (i_want_a_non_standard_place_for_this)
           SET_OPT_SAVE_OPTS("myfilename");
           optionSaveFile(&progOptions);

       opts   program options descriptor


ERRORS
       If no homerc file was specified, this routine will silently return and
       do nothing.  If the output file cannot be created or updated, a message
       will be printed to stderr and the routine will return.
