.SH NAME
|
|
wcstok \- split wide-character string into tokens
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B #include <wchar.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "wchar_t *wcstok(wchar_t *" wcs ", const wchar_t *" delim \
|
|
", wchar_t **" ptr );
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR wcstok ()
|
|
function is the wide-character equivalent of the
|
|
.BR strtok (3)
|
|
function,
|
|
with an added argument to make it multithread-safe.
|
|
It can be used
|
|
to split a wide-character string
|
|
.I wcs
|
|
into tokens, where a token is
|
|
defined as a substring not containing any wide-characters from
|
|
.IR delim .
|
|
.PP
|
|
The search starts at
|
|
.IR wcs ,
|
|
if
|
|
.I wcs
|
|
is not NULL,
|
|
or at
|
|
.IR *ptr ,
|
|
if
|
|
.I wcs
|
|
is NULL.
|
|
First, any delimiter wide-characters are skipped, that is, the
|
|
pointer is advanced beyond any wide-characters which occur in
|
|
.IR delim .
|
|
If the end of the wide-character string is now
|
|
reached,
|
|
.BR wcstok ()
|
|
returns NULL, to indicate that no tokens
|
|
were found, and stores an appropriate value in
|
|
.IR *ptr ,
|
|
so that subsequent calls to
|
|
.BR wcstok ()
|
|
will continue to return NULL.
|
|
Otherwise, the
|
|
.BR wcstok ()
|
|
function recognizes the beginning of a token
|
|
and returns a pointer to it, but before doing that, it zero-terminates the
|
|
token by replacing the next wide-character which occurs in
|
|
.I delim
|
|
with
|
|
a null wide character (L\(aq\\0\(aq),
|
|
and it updates
|
|
.I *ptr
|
|
so that subsequent calls will
|
|
continue searching after the end of recognized token.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
The
|
|
.BR wcstok ()
|
|
function returns a pointer to the next token,
|
|
or NULL if no further token was found.
|
|
.SH ATTRIBUTES
|
|
.SS Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
|
|
The
|
|
.BR wcstok ()
|
|
function is thread-safe.
|
|
.SH CONFORMING TO
|
|
C99.
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
The original
|
|
.I wcs
|
|
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);
|
|
token != NULL;
|
|
token = wcstok(NULL, " \\t\\n", &state)) {
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
