NAME

       strsep - extract token from string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <string.h>

       char *strsep(char **stringp, const char *delim);

DESCRIPTION

       The strsep() function returns the next token from the string stringp which is delimited by
       delim.  The token is terminated with a `\0' character and stringp is updated to point past
       the token.

RETURN VALUE

       The  strsep()  function  returns  a pointer to the token, or NULL if delim is not found in
       stringp.

NOTES

       The strsep() function was introduced as a  replacement  for  strtok(),  since  the  latter
       cannot  handle  empty  fields.   (However,  strtok()  conforms to ANSI-C and hence is more
       portable.)
