/* NAME
/*	extpar 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	extract text from parentheses
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <stringops.h>
/*
/*	char	*extpar(bp, parens, flags)
/*	char	**bp;
/*	const char *parens;
/*	int	flags;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	extpar() extracts text from an input string that is enclosed
/*	in the specified parentheses, and updates the buffer pointer
/*	to point to that text.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP bp
/*	Pointer to buffer pointer. Both the buffer and the buffer
/*	pointer are modified.
/* .IP parens
/*	One matching pair of parentheses, opening parenthesis first.
/* .IP flags
/*	EXTPAR_FLAG_NONE, or the bitwise OR of one or more flags:
/* .RS
/* .IP EXTPAR_FLAG_EXTRACT
/*	This flag is intended to instruct extpar() callers that
/*	extpar() should be invoked. It has no effect on expar()
/*	itself.
/* .IP EXTPAR_FLAG_STRIP
/*	Skip whitespace after the opening parenthesis, and trim
/*	whitespace before the closing parenthesis.
/* .RE
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	In case of error the result value is a dynamically-allocated
/*	string with a description of the problem that includes a
/*	copy of the offending input.  A non-null result value should
/*	be destroyed with myfree(). The following describes the errors
/*	and the state of the buffer and buffer pointer.
/* .IP "no opening parenthesis at start of text"
/*	The buffer pointer points to the input text.
/* .IP "missing closing parenthesis"
/*	The buffer pointer points to text as if a closing parenthesis
/*	were present at the end of the input.
/* .IP "text after closing parenthesis"
/*	The buffer pointer points to text as if the offending text
/*	were not present.
