If no delimiter characters are found, .Fn strsep sets .Fa *stringp to .Dv NULL ; if .Fa *stringp is initially .Dv NULL , .Fn strsep returns .Dv NULL . .Sh EXAMPLES The following uses .Fn strsep to parse strings containing runs of white space, making up an argument vector: d -literal -offset indent char inputstring[100]; char **argv[51], **ap = argv, *p, *val; /* set up inputstring */ for (p = inputstring; p != NULL; ) { while ((val = strsep(&p, " \et")) != NULL && *val == '\e0'); *ap++ = val; } *ap = 0; .Ed .Sh HISTORY The .Fn strsep function is d .
