STRSEP (3)
extract token from string
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
char *strsep(char ** stringp , const char * delim );
DESCRIPTION
The strsep() function returns the next token from the string
stringp which is delimited by delim. The token is
terminated with a `\\0' character and stringp is updated to
point past the token.
RETURN VALUE
The strsep() function returns a pointer to the token, or NULL
if delim is not found in stringp.
NOTES
The strsep() function was introduced as a replacement for
strtok(), since the latter cannot handle empty fields.
(However, strtok() conforms to ANSI-C and hence is more portable.)
