|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In string.h
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strtok "char * restrict str" "const char * restrict sep"
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strtok_r "char *str" "const char *sep" "char **lasts"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtok
|
|
function
|
|
is used to isolate sequential tokens in a nul-terminated string,
|
|
.Fa str .
|
|
These tokens are separated in the string by at least one of the
|
|
characters in
|
|
.Fa sep .
|
|
The first time that
|
|
.Fn strtok
|
|
is called,
|
|
.Fa str
|
|
should be specified; subsequent calls, wishing to obtain further tokens
|
|
from the same string, should pass a null pointer instead.
|
|
The separator string,
|
|
.Fa sep ,
|
|
must be supplied each time, and may change between calls.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtok
|
|
function
|
|
returns a pointer to the beginning of each subsequent token in the string,
|
|
after replacing the separator character itself with a
|
|
.Dv NUL
|
|
character.
|
|
Separator characters at the beginning of the string or at the
|
|
continuation point are skipped so that zero length tokens
|
|
are not returned.
|
|
When no more tokens remain, a null pointer is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtok_r
|
|
function implements the functionality of
|
|
.Fn strtok
|
|
but is passed an additional argument,
|
|
.Fa lasts ,
|
|
which points to a user-provided pointer which is used by
|
|
.Fn strtok_r
|
|
to store state which needs to be kept between calls to scan the same string;
|
|
unlike
|
|
.Fn strtok ,
|
|
it is not necessary to delineate tokenizing to a single string at a time
|
|
when using
|
|
.Fn strtok_r .
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following will construct an array of pointers to each individual word in
|
|
the string
|
|
.Va s :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
#define MAXTOKENS 128
|
|
|
|
char s[512], *p, *tokens[MAXTOKENS];
|
|
char *last;
|
|
int i = 0;
|
|
|
|
snprintf(s, sizeof(s), "cat dog horse cow");
|
|
|
|
for ((p = strtok_r(s, " ", &last)); p;
|
|
(p = strtok_r(NULL, " ", &last)), i++) {
|
|
if (i < MAXTOKENS - 1)
|
|
tokens[i] = p;
|
|
}
|
|
tokens[i] = NULL;
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
That is,
|
|
.Li tokens[0]
|
|
will point to
|
|
.Qq cat ,
|
|
.Li tokens[1]
|
|
will point to
|
|
.Qq dog ,
|
|
.Li tokens[2]
|
|
will point to
|
|
.Qq horse ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Li tokens[3]
|
|
will point to
|
|
.Qq cow .

.Sh STANDARDS

The
|
|
.Fn strtok
|
|
function
|
|
conforms to
|
|
.St -ansiC .
|
|
The

|
.Fn strtok_r
|
|
function conforms to

.St -p1003.1c-95 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The System V
|
|
.Fn strtok ,
|
|
if handed a string containing only delimiter characters,
|
|
will not alter the next starting point, so that a call to
|
|
.Fn strtok
|
|
with a different (or empty) delimiter string
|
|
may return a
|
|
.Pf non- Dv NULL
|
|
value.
|
|
Since this implementation always alters the next starting point,
|
|
such a sequence of calls would always return
|
|
.Dv NULL .
