.Sh NAME

|
.Nm strtok, strtok_r
|
|
.Nd string tokens
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <string.h>
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strtok "char *str" "const char *sep"
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strtok_r "char *str" "const char *sep" "char **last"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Bf -symbolic
|
|
This interface is obsoleted by strsep(3).
|
|
.Ef
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtok
|
|
function
|
|
is used to isolate sequential tokens in a null-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_r
|
|
function is a reentrant version of
|
|
.Fn strtok .
|
|
The context pointer
|
|
.Fa last
|
|
must be provided on each call.
|
|
.Fn strtok_r
|
|
may also be used to nest two parsing loops within one another, as
|
|
long as separate context pointers are used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtok
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn strtok_r
|
|
functions
|
|
return a pointer to the beginning of each subsequent token in the string,
|
|
after replacing the token itself with a
|
|
.Dv NUL
|
|
character.
|
|
When no more tokens remain, a null pointer is returned.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLE
|
|
The following uses
|
|
.Fn strtok_r ()
|
|
to parse two strings using separate contexts:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
char test[80], blah[80];
|
|
char *sep = "\e\e/:;=-";
|
|
char *word, *phrase, *brkt, *brkb;
|
|
|
|
strcpy(test, "This;is.a:test:of=the/string\e\etokenizer-function.");
|
|
|
|
for (word = strtok_r(test, sep, &brkt);
|
|
word;
|
|
word = strtok_r(NULL, sep, &brkt))
|
|
{
|
|
strcpy(blah, "blah:blat:blab:blag");
|
|
|
|
for (phrase = strtok_r(blah, sep, &brkb);
|
|
phrase;
|
|
phrase = strtok_r(NULL, sep, &brkb))
|
|
{
|
|
printf("So far we're at %s:%s\en", word, phrase);
|
|
}
|
|
}

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