getfields, tokenize - break a string into fields int getfields(char *str, char **args, int maxargs, int multiflag,

char *delims)

int tokenize(char *str, char **args, int maxargs)

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 \f5"\et\er\en ", except that fields may be quoted using single quotes, in the manner of the command interpreter.
