DESCRIPTION

table_colarg parses any flags from the end of a column name argument given to a table program on the program command line and calls table_col to look up the column in the table header. table_arg may also be used to parse column flags without looking up the column number. If table is NULL table_colnum is not called and the return value is 0.
