.SH DESCRIPTION
|
2007-05-12 09:06:04 +00:00
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.BR wcstok ()
|
|
|
|
|
function is the wide-character equivalent of the
|
|
|
|
|
.BR strtok (3)
|
|
|
|
|
function,
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
with an added argument to make it multithread-safe.
|
2006-12-27 03:54:41 +00:00
|
|
|
It can be used
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
to split a wide-character string \fIwcs\fP into tokens, where a token is
|
|
|
|
|
defined as a substring not containing any wide-characters from \fIdelim\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
2007-04-24 16:44:51 +00:00
|
|
|
The search starts at \fIwcs\fP, if \fIwcs\fP is not NULL,
|
|
|
|
|
or at \fI*ptr\fP, if \fIwcs\fP is NULL.
|
2007-06-08 11:56:22 +00:00
|
|
|
First, any delimiter wide-characters are skipped, that is, the
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
pointer is advanced beyond any wide-characters which occur in \fIdelim\fP.
|
2007-04-24 16:44:51 +00:00
|
|
|
If the end of the wide-character string is now
|
2007-05-12 09:06:04 +00:00
|
|
|
reached,
|
|
|
|
|
.BR wcstok ()
|
|
|
|
|
returns NULL, to indicate that no tokens
|
2007-04-24 16:44:51 +00:00
|
|
|
were found, and stores an appropriate value in \fI*ptr\fP,
|
2007-05-12 09:06:04 +00:00
|
|
|
so that subsequent calls to
|
|
|
|
|
.BR wcstok ()
|
|
|
|
|
will continue to return NULL.
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, the
|
|
|
|
|
.BR wcstok ()
|
|
|
|
|
function recognizes the beginning of a token
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
and returns a pointer to it, but before doing that, it zero-terminates the
|
|
|
|
|
token by replacing the next wide-character which occurs in \fIdelim\fP with
|
2008-06-09 15:49:35 +00:00
|
|
|
a L\(aq\\0\(aq character,
|
|
|
|
|
and it updates \fI*ptr\fP so that subsequent calls will
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
continue searching after the end of recognized token.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
2007-05-12 09:06:04 +00:00
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.BR wcstok ()
|
|
|
|
|
function returns a pointer to the next token,
|
2007-04-24 16:44:51 +00:00
|
|
|
or NULL if no further token was found.

|
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
|
|
|
The original \fIwcs\fP wide-character string is destructively modified during
|
|
|
|
|
the operation.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
|
The following code loops over the tokens contained in a wide-character string.
|
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
|
wchar_t *wcs = ...;
|
|
|
|
|
wchar_t *token;
|
|
|
|
|
wchar_t *state;
|
|
|
|
|
for (token = wcstok(wcs, " \\t\\n", &state);
|
2007-04-03 15:32:52 +00:00
|
|
|
token != NULL;
|
|
|
|
|
token = wcstok(NULL, " \\t\\n", &state)) {
|
|
|
|
