/*
* nxtarg -- strip off arguments from a string
*
* Usage: p = nxtarg (&q,brk);
* char *p,*q,*brk;
* extern char _argbreak;
*
* q is pointer to next argument in string
* after call, p points to string containing argument,
* q points to remainder of string
*
* Leading blanks and tabs are skipped; the argument ends at the
* first occurence of one of the characters in the string "brk".
* When such a character is found, it is put into the external
* variable "_argbreak", and replaced by a null character; if the
* arg string ends before that, then the null character is
* placed into _argbreak;
* If "brk" is 0, then " " is substituted.
*
* HISTORY
* 01-Jul-83 Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
* Bug fix: added check for "back >= front" in loop to chop trailing
* white space.
*
* 20-Nov-79 Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
* Rewritten for VAX. By popular demand, a table of break characters
* has been added (implemented as a string passed into nxtarg).
*
* Originally from klg (Ken Greer); IUS/SUS UNIX.
