NAME
       bufsplit() - split buffer into fields

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       examines	 the  buffer, buf, and assigns values to the pointer array, a,
       so that the pointers point to the first n fields in buf that are delim‐
       ited by tabs or new-lines.

       To  change the characters used to separate fields, call with buf point‐
       ing to the string of characters, and n and a set to zero.  For example,
       to use ':', '.', and ',' as separators along with tab and new-line:

RETURN VALUE
       The number of fields assigned in the array a.   If  buf	is  zero,  the
       return  value  is zero and the array is unchanged.  Otherwise the value
       is at least one.	 The remainder	of  the	 elements  in  the  array  are
       assigned the address of the null byte at the end of the buffer.
