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.
