-.TH strsep 3 (date) "Linux man-pages (unreleased)"
-.SH NAME
-strsep \- extract token from string
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <string.h>
-.PP
-.BI "char *strsep(char **restrict " stringp ", const char *restrict " delim );
-.fi
-.PP
-.RS -4
-Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
-.BR feature_test_macros (7)):
-.RE
-.PP
-.BR strsep ():
-.nf
- Since glibc 2.19:
- _DEFAULT_SOURCE
- glibc 2.19 and earlier:
- _BSD_SOURCE
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-If
-.I *stringp
-is NULL, the
-.BR strsep ()
-function returns NULL
-and does nothing else.
-Otherwise, this function finds the first token
-in the string
-.I *stringp
-that is delimited by one of the bytes in the string
-.IR delim .
-This token is terminated by overwriting the delimiter
-with a null byte (\[aq]\e0\[aq]),
-and
-.I *stringp
-is updated to point past the token.
-In case no delimiter was found, the token is taken to be
-the entire string
-.IR *stringp ,
-and
-.I *stringp
-is made NULL.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-The
-.BR strsep ()
-function returns a pointer to the token,
-that is, it returns the original value of
-.IR *stringp .
-.SH ATTRIBUTES
-For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
-.BR attributes (7).

-.SH STANDARDS
-None.
-.SH HISTORY
-4.4BSD.
-.PP
-The
-.BR strsep ()
-function was introduced as a replacement for
-.BR strtok (3),
-since the latter cannot handle empty fields.
-However,
-.BR strtok (3)
-conforms to C89/C99 and hence is more portable.
-.SH BUGS
-Be cautious when using this function.
-If you do use it, note that:
-.IP \[bu] 3
-This function modifies its first argument.
-.IP \[bu]
-This function cannot be used on constant strings.
-.IP \[bu]
-The identity of the delimiting character is lost.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-The program below is a port of the one found in
-.BR strtok (3),
-which, however, doesn't discard multiple delimiters or empty tokens:
-.PP
-.in +4n
-.EX
-.RB "$" " ./a.out \[aq]a/bbb///cc;xxx:yyy:\[aq] \[aq]:;\[aq] \[aq]/\[aq]"
-1: a/bbb///cc
- \-\-> a
- \-\-> bbb
- \-\->
- \-\->
- \-\-> cc
-2: xxx
- \-\-> xxx
-3: yyy
- \-\-> yyy
