.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm strtok , strtok_r
.Nd string tokens
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In 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
.Xr 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 implementation will behave as if no library function calls
.Fn strtok .
.Pp
The
.Fn strtok_r
function is a reentrant version of
.Fn strtok .
The context pointer
.Fa last
must be provided on each call.
The
.Fn strtok_r
function
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 EXAMPLES
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 -isoC .

.Pp
Based on the
.Fx 3.0
implementation.
.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 .
