NAME
getfields, tokenize - break a string into fields
SYNOPSIS
int getfields(char *str, char **args, int maxargs, int multiflag,
char *delims)
int tokenize(char *str, char **args, int maxargs)
DESCRIPTION
Getfields breaks the null-terminated UTF string str into at most
maxargs null-terminated fields and places pointers to the start of
these fields in the array args. Some of the bytes in str are overwrit‐
ten. If there are more than maxargs fields, only the first maxargs
fields will be set. Delims is a UTF string defining a set of delim‐
iters.
If multiflag is zero, adjacent fields are separated by exactly one
delimiter. A string containing n delimiter characters contains n+1
fields. If the multiflag argument is not zero, a field is a non-empty
string of non-delimiters.
Getfields return the number of tokens processed.
Tokenize is the same as getfields with multiflag non-zero and delims
"\t\r\n ", except that fields may be quoted using single quotes, in the
manner of the command interpreter.
