STRTOK(P) STRTOK(P)
NAME
strtok, strtok_r - split string into tokens
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
char *strtok(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2);
char *strtok_r(char *restrict s, const char *restrict sep,
char **restrict lasts);
DESCRIPTION
For strtok(): The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 defers to the
ISO C standard.
A sequence of calls to strtok() breaks the string pointed to by s1 into a sequence
of tokens, each of which is delimited by a byte from the string pointed to by s2.
The first call in the sequence has s1 as its first argument, and is followed by
calls with a null pointer as their first argument. The separator string pointed to
by s2 may be different from call to call.
The first call in the sequence searches the string pointed to by s1 for the first
byte that is not contained in the current separator string pointed to by s2. If no
such byte is found, then there are no tokens in the string pointed to by s1 and
strtok() shall return a null pointer. If such a byte is found, it is the start of
the first token.
The strtok() function then searches from there for a byte that is contained in the
current separator string. If no such byte is found, the current token extends to
the end of the string pointed to by s1, and subsequent searches for a token shall
return a null pointer. If such a byte is found, it is overwritten by a null byte,
which terminates the current token. The strtok() function saves a pointer to the
following byte, from which the next search for a token shall start.
Each subsequent call, with a null pointer as the value of the first argument,
starts searching from the saved pointer and behaves as described above.
The implementation shall behave as if no function defined in this volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 calls strtok().
The strtok() function need not be reentrant. A function that is not required to be
reentrant is not required to be thread-safe.
The strtok_r() function considers the null-terminated string s as a sequence of
zero or more text tokens separated by spans of one or more characters from the sep-
arator string sep. The argument lasts points to a user-provided pointer which
points to stored information necessary for strtok_r() to continue scanning the same
string.
In the first call to strtok_r(), s points to a null-terminated string, sep to a
null-terminated string of separator characters, and the value pointed to by lasts
is ignored. The strtok_r() function shall return a pointer to the first character
of the first token, write a null character into s immediately following the
returned token, and update the pointer to which lasts points.
In subsequent calls, s is a NULL pointer and lasts shall be unchanged from the pre-
vious call so that subsequent calls shall move through the string s, returning suc-
cessive tokens until no tokens remain. The separator string sep may be different
from call to call. When no token remains in s, a NULL pointer shall be returned.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, strtok() shall return a pointer to the first byte of a
token. Otherwise, if there is no token, strtok() shall return a null pointer.
The strtok_r() function shall return a pointer to the token found, or a NULL
pointer when no token is found.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
Searching for Word Separators
The following example searches for tokens separated by <space>s.
#include <string.h>
...
char *token;
char *line = "LINE TO BE SEPARATED";
char *search = " ";
/* Token will point to "LINE". */
token = strtok(line, search);
/* Token will point to "TO". */
token = strtok(NULL, search);
Breaking a Line
The following example uses strtok() to break a line into two character strings sep-
arated by any combination of <space>s, <tab>s, or <newline>s.
#include <string.h>
...
struct element {
char *key;
char *data;
};
...
char line[LINE_MAX];
char *key, *data;
...
key = strtok(line, " \n");
data = strtok(NULL, " \n");
...
APPLICATION USAGE
The strtok_r() function is thread-safe and stores its state in a user-supplied
buffer instead of possibly using a static data area that may be overwritten by an
unrelated call from another thread.
RATIONALE
The strtok() function searches for a separator string within a larger string. It
returns a pointer to the last substring between separator strings. This function
uses static storage to keep track of the current string position between calls. The
new function, strtok_r(), takes an additional argument, lasts, to keep track of the
current position in the string.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
