Practise extracting structured fields from a text report.
Given a multi-line string that looks like Nmap's -oN output, extract the open ports. Implement size_t open_ports(const char *report, int *out, size_t out_cap) returning the count of port numbers stored (up to out_cap).
A line indicates an open port if it matches <port>/tcp\s+open\s+.... Ignore other lines.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stddef.h>
size_t open_ports(const char *report, int *out, size_t out_cap) {
/* TODO */
return 0;
}
