<B>strsep</B>():
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since&nbsp;glibc&nbsp;2.19:
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_DEFAULT_SOURCE
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Glibc&nbsp;2.19&nbsp;and&nbsp;earlier:

<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
If
<I>*stringp</I>
is NULL, the
<B>strsep</B>()
function returns NULL
and does nothing else.
Otherwise, this function finds the first token
in the string
<I>*stringp</I>,
that is delimited by one of the bytes in the string
<I>delim</I>.
This token is terminated by overwriting the delimiter
with a null byte ('\0'),
and
<I>*stringp</I>
is updated to point past the token.
In case no delimiter was found, the token is taken to be
the entire string
<I>*stringp</I>,
and
<I>*stringp</I>
is made NULL.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
The
<B>strsep</B>()
function returns a pointer to the token,
that is, it returns the original value of
<I>*stringp</I>.

<H2>CONFORMING TO</H2>
4.4BSD.
<A NAME="lbAH">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
The
<B>strsep</B>()
function was introduced as a replacement for
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+strtok">strtok</A></B>(3),
since the latter cannot handle empty fields.
However,
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+strtok">strtok</A></B>(3)
conforms to C89/C99 and hence is more portable.
<A NAME="lbAI">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>BUGS</H2>
Be cautious when using this function.
If you do use it, note that:
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1">*<DD>
This function modifies its first argument.
<DT id="2">*<DD>
This function cannot be used on constant strings.
<DT id="3">*<DD>
The identity of the delimiting character is lost.
