Answer 1

The following function will generate an argc, argv pair for a single option within an argument list:

void GetArgsList (int argc, char *argv[], int* o_argc, char*** o_argv)
{
    char** ret = NULL;
    int i;
    int count = 0;

    for (i = optind - 1; i < argc ; ++i)
    {
        if (argv[i][0]=='-')
        {
            break;
        }
        else
        {
            if (NULL == ret)
            {
                ret = &argv[i];
            }
            count++;
        }
    }

    optind = i - 1;

    if (o_argc)
    {
        *o_argc = count;
    }

    *o_argv = ret;
}
