Yes.

Ah, I wasn't noticing the structure is <prefix, key> pair.

maybe handler for each <prefix, key> is okay? like following:

static struct sd_opt_param write_cache_options[] = {
        {"object", "size", "<size>",
         "specify a cache size for object cache", A},
        {"object", "directio", "<on|off>",
         "avoid using gateway page cache", B},
        ....
};

Then sd-opt user is freed to use the same handler for handler A and B or
use dedicated handlers for A and B. In either case, users don't need to
write prefix parser.

Thanks,
