Standard offset variable syntax:

{phang2}
{cmd:_get_offopt} [{it:varname}]


{pstd}
Exposure variable syntax (also known as log offset):

{phang2}
{cmd:_get_offopt} [{opt ln(varname)}]


{title:Description}

{pstd}
{cmd:_get_offopt} is a programming tool that helps identify which option was
used to specify an offset in an estimation command, based on what is typically
put in {cmd:e(offset)}.  Basically, {cmd:_get_offopt} looks at the supplied
argument and returns the associated option in {cmd:s(offopt)},
{it:varname} is returned in {cmd:s(offvar)}.

    {cmd}. quietly poisson mpg turn trunk, exposure(gear)
    {txt}
    {cmd}. di "`e(offset)'"
    {res}ln(gear_ratio)
    {txt}
    {cmd}. _get_offopt `e(offset)'
    {txt}
    {cmd}. sreturn list

    {txt}macros:
                s(offvar) : "{res}gear_ratio{txt}"
                s(offopt) : "{res}exposure(gear_ratio){txt}"
