+The

 When no more tokens remain, a null pointer is returned.

-There is no way to get tokens from multiple strings simultaneously.
-.Pp
 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

 with a different (or empty) delimiter string

-value.
+may return a non-null value.
 Since this implementation always alters the next starting point,
 such a sequence of calls would always return
 .Dv NULL .
