GETFIELDS(10.2) GETFIELDS(10.2)
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 overwritten. If there are more than
maxargs fields, only the first maxargs fields will be set.
Delims is a UTF string defining a set of delimiters.
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.
