|
.Nd separate strings

.Sh LIBRARY

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In string.h
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strsep "char **stringp" "const char *delim"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strsep
|
|
function locates, in the string referenced by
|
|
.Fa *stringp ,
|
|
the first occurrence of any character in the string
|
|
.Fa delim
|
|
(or the terminating
|
|
.Ql \e0
|
|
character) and replaces it with a
|
|
.Ql \e0 .
|
|
The location of the next character after the delimiter character
|
|
(or NULL, if the end of the string was reached) is stored in
|
|
.Fa *stringp .
|
|
The original value of
|
|
.Fa *stringp
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An ``empty'' field, i.e. one caused by two adjacent delimiter characters,
|
|
can be detected by comparing the location referenced by the pointer returned
|
|
in
|
|
.Fa *stringp
|
|
to
|
|
.Ql \e0 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa *stringp
|
|
is initially
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
.Fn strsep
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following uses
|
|
.Fn strsep
|
|
to parse a string, containing tokens delimited by white space, into an
|
|
argument vector:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
char **ap, *argv[10], *inputstring;
|
|
|
|
for (ap = argv; (*ap = strsep(&inputstring, " \et")) != NULL;)
|
|
if (**ap != '\e0')
|
|
if (++ap >= &argv[10])
|
|
break;

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strsep
|
|
function
|
|
is intended as a replacement for the
|
|
.Fn strtok
|
|
function.
|
|
While the
|
|
.Fn strtok
|
|
function should be preferred for portability reasons (it conforms to
|
|
.St -isoC )
|
|
it is unable to handle empty fields, i.e. detect fields delimited by
|
|
two adjacent delimiter characters, or to be used for more than a single
|
|
string at a time.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strsep
|
|
function first appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.4 .
