+.Sh NAME
+.Nm fparseln
+.Nd return the next logical line from a stream
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libutil
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <util.h>
+.Ft "char *"
+.Fo "fparseln"
+.Fa "FILE *stream" "size_t *len" "size_t *lineno"
+.Fa "const char delim[3]" "int flags"
+.Fc
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn fparseln
+function
+returns a pointer to the next logical line from the stream referenced by
+.Fa stream .
+This string is
+.Dv NUL
+terminated and it is dynamicaly allocated on each invocation. It is the
+responsibility of the caller to free the pointer.
+.Pp
+By default, if a character is escaped, both it and the preceeding escape
+character will be present in the returned string.
+Various
+.Fa flags
+alter this behaviour.
+.Pp
+The meaning of the arguments is as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width "lineno"
+.It Fa stream
+The stream to read from.
+.It Fa len
+If not
+.Dv NULL ,
+the length of the string is stored in the memory location to which it
+points.
+.It Fa lineno
+If not
+.Dv NULL ,
+the value of the memory location to which is pointed to, is incremented
+by the number of lines actually read from the file.
+.It Fa delim
+Contains the escape, continuation, and comment characters.
+If a character is
+.Dv NUL
+then processing for that character is disabled.
+If
+.Dv NULL ,
+all characters default to values specified below.
+The contents of
+.Fa delim
+is as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width "delim[0]"
+.It Fa delim[0]
+The escape character, which defaults to
+.Cm \e ,
+is used to remove any special meaning from the next character.
+.It Fa delim[1]
+The continuation character, which defaults to
+.Cm \e ,
+is used to indicate that the next line should be concatenated with the
+current one if this character is the last character on the current line
+and is not escaped.
+.It Fa delim[2]
+The comment character, which defaults to
+.Cm # ,
+if not escaped indicates the beginning of a comment that extends until the
+end of the current line.
+.El
+.It Fa flags
+If non-zero, alter the operation of
+.Fn fparseln .
+The various flags, which may be
+.Em or Ns -ed
+together, are:
+.Bl -tag -width "FPARSELN_UNESCCOMM"
+.It Dv FPARSELN_UNESCCOMM
+Remove escape preceeding an escaped comment.
+.It Dv FPARSELN_UNESCCONT
+Remove escape preceeding an escaped continuation.
+.It Dv FPARSELN_UNESCESC
+Remove escape preceeding an escaped escape.
+.It Dv FPARSELN_UNESCREST
+Remove escape preceeding any other character.
+.It Dv FPARSELN_UNESCALL
+All of the above.
+.El
+.Pp
+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion a pointer to the parsed line is returned;
+otherwise,
+.Dv NULL
+is returned.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn fparseln
+function uses internally
+.Xr fgetln 3 ,
+so all error conditions that apply to
+.Xr fgetln 3 ,
+apply to
+.Fn fparseln .
+In addition
+.Fn fparseln
+may set
+.Va errno
+to
+.Bq Er ENOMEM
+and return
+.Dv NULL
+if it runs out of memory.
+.Sh SEE ALSO

+The
+.Fn fparseln
+function first appeared in
+.Nx 1.4 .
