+/* Parse S into tokens separated by characters in DELIM.
+ If S is NULL, the saved pointer in SAVE_PTR is used as
+ the next starting point. For example:
+ char s[] = "-abc-=-def";
+ char *sp;
+ x = strtok_r(s, "-", &sp); // x = "abc", sp = "=-def"
+ x = strtok_r(NULL, "-=", &sp); // x = "def", sp = NULL
+ x = strtok_r(NULL, "=", &sp); // x = NULL
+ // s = "abc\0-def\0"
+
+ This is a variant of strtok() that is multithread-safe.

+
+ Caveat: It modifies the original string.
+ Caveat: These functions cannot be used on constant strings.
+ Caveat: The identity of the delimiting character is lost.
+ Caveat: It doesn't work with multibyte strings unless all of the delimiter
+ characters are ASCII characters < 0x30.
