Abstract

An application program interface (API) provides an interface for common gateway interface (CGI) programs to parse a CGI input string of keywords and their values, each keyword/value pair being all text data separated by a deliminter character, into a buffer which is formated according to a data definition (DDS) file specification or template, thus building a data structure of converted values without keywords from an input string including keyword and text value pairs.
