Re: [Autogen-users] easiest way to print a custom version string

[Bruce K. <bru...@gm...>]

Never mind.  I was on a long hold and looked at the code.  The answer
jumped out at me:  print_ver() gets a new argument to indicate,
"please do not exit" and I add:


/*=export_func  optionPrintVersionAndReturn
 * private:
 *
 * what:  Print the program version
 * arg:   + tOptions* + opts + program options descriptor +
 * arg:   + tOptDesc* + od   + the descriptor for this arg +
 *
 * doc:
 *  This routine will print the version to stdout.
=*/
void
optionPrintVersionAndReturn(tOptions * opts, tOptDesc * od)
{
    print_ver(opts, od, print_exit ? stderr : stdout, false);
}

"false" meaning "don't call exit()".
