40.Sh NAME
41.Nm strsep
42.Nd separate strings
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Fd #include <string.h>
45.Ft char *
46.Fn strsep "char **stringp" "char *delim"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Fn strsep
50locates in the null-terminated string at
51.Fa *stringp
52the first occurrence of any character in
53.Fa delim
54and replaces this with a
55.Ql \e0 ,
56records the location of the immediate following character in
57.Fa *stringp ,
58then returns the original value of
59.Fa *stringp .
60If no delimiter characters are found,
61.Fn strsep
62sets
63.Fa *stringp
64to
65.Dv NULL ;
66if
67.Fa *stringp
68is initially
69.Dv NULL ,
70.Fn strsep
71returns
72.Dv NULL .
73.Sh EXAMPLES
74The following uses
75.Fn strsep
76to parse strings containing runs of white space,
77making up an argument vector:
78.Bd -literal -offset indent
79char inputstring[100];
80char **argv[51], **ap = argv, *p, *val;
81/* set up inputstring */
82for (p = inputstring; p != NULL; ) {
83 while ((val = strsep(&p, " \et")) != NULL && *val == '\e0');
84 *ap++ = val;
85}
86*ap = 0;
