5 * Parse one item in an -L begin,end option w.r.t. the notional file
6 * object 'cb_data' consisting of 'lines' lines.
7 *
8 * The 'nth_line_cb' callback is used to determine the start of the
9 * line 'lno' inside the 'cb_data'. The caller is expected to already
10 * have a suitable map at hand to make this a constant-time lookup.
11 *
12 * Returns 0 in case of success and -1 if there was an error. The
13 * actual range is stored in *begin and *end. The counting starts
14 * at 1! In case of error, the caller should show usage message.
