+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR strtok ()
+function breaks a string into a sequence of zero or more nonempty tokens.
+On the first call to
+.BR strtok (),
+the string to be parsed should be
+specified in
+.IR str .
+In each subsequent call that should parse the same string,
+.I str
+must be NULL.
+.PP
+The
+.I delim
+argument specifies a set of bytes that
+delimit the tokens in the parsed string.
+The caller may specify different strings in
+.I delim
+in successive
+calls that parse the same string.
+.PP
+Each call to
+.BR strtok ()
+returns a pointer to a
+null-terminated string containing the next token.
+This string does not include the delimiting byte.
+If no more tokens are found,
+.BR strtok ()
+returns NULL.
+.PP
+A sequence of calls to
+.BR strtok ()
+that operate on the same string maintains a pointer
+that determines the point from which to start searching for the next token.
+The first call to
+.BR strtok ()
+sets this pointer to point to the first byte of the string.
+The start of the next token is determined by scanning forward
+for the next nondelimiter byte in
+.IR str .
+If such a byte is found, it is taken as the start of the next token.
+If no such byte is found,
+then there are no more tokens, and
+.BR strtok ()
+returns NULL.
+(A string that is empty or that contains only delimiters
+will thus cause
+.BR strtok ()
+to return NULL on the first call.)
+.PP
+The end of each token is found by scanning forward until either
+the next delimiter byte is found or until the
+terminating null byte (\[aq]\e0\[aq]) is encountered.
+If a delimiter byte is found, it is overwritten with
+a null byte to terminate the current token, and
+.BR strtok ()
+saves a pointer to the following byte;
+that pointer will be used as the starting point
+when searching for the next token.
+In this case,
+.BR strtok ()
+returns a pointer to the start of the found token.
+.PP
+From the above description,
+it follows that a sequence of two or more contiguous delimiter bytes in
+the parsed string is considered to be a single delimiter, and that
+delimiter bytes at the start or end of the string are ignored.
+Put another way: the tokens returned by
+.BR strtok ()
+are always nonempty strings.
+Thus, for example, given the string "\fIaaa;;bbb,\fP",
+successive calls to
+.BR strtok ()
+that specify the delimiter string "\fI;,\fP"
+would return the strings "\fIaaa\fP" and "\fIbbb\fP",
+and then a null pointer.
+.PP
+The
+.BR strtok_r ()
+function is a reentrant version of
+.BR strtok ().
+The
+.I saveptr
+argument is a pointer to a
+.I char\~*
+variable that is used internally by
+.BR strtok_r ()
+in order to maintain context between successive calls that parse the
+same string.
+.PP
+On the first call to
+.BR strtok_r (),
+.I str
+should point to the string to be parsed, and the value of
+.I *saveptr
+is ignored (but see NOTES).
+In subsequent calls,
+.I str
+should be NULL, and
+.I saveptr
+(and the buffer that it points to)
+should be unchanged since the previous call.
+.PP
+Different strings may be parsed concurrently using sequences of calls to
+.BR strtok_r ()
+that specify different
+.I saveptr
+arguments.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR strtok ()
+and
+.BR strtok_r ()
+functions return a pointer to
+the next token, or NULL if there are no more tokens.

+.SH VERSIONS
+On some implementations,

+.I *saveptr
+is required to be NULL on the first call to

+.SH BUGS
+Be cautious when using these functions.
+If you do use them, note that:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+These functions modify their first argument.
+.IP \[bu]
+These functions cannot be used on constant strings.
+.IP \[bu]
+The identity of the delimiting byte is lost.
+.IP \[bu]
+The
+.BR strtok ()
+function uses a static buffer while parsing, so it's not thread safe.
+Use
+.BR strtok_r ()
+if this matters to you.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The program below uses nested loops that employ
+.BR strtok_r ()
+to break a string into a two-level hierarchy of tokens.
+The first command-line argument specifies the string to be parsed.
+The second argument specifies the delimiter byte(s)
+to be used to separate that string into "major" tokens.
+The third argument specifies the delimiter byte(s)
+to be used to separate the "major" tokens into subtokens.

+An example of the output produced by this program is the following:
