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.)
