It can be used to split a wide-character string wcs into tokens, where a token is defined as a substring not containing any wide-characters from delim.The search starts at wcs, if wcs is not NULL, or at *ptr, if wcs is NULL. First, any delimiter wide-characters are skipped, i.e. the pointer is advanced beyond any wide-characters which occur in delim. If the end of the wide-character string is now reached, wcstok returns NULL, to indicate that no tokens were found, and stores an appropriate value in *ptr, so that subsequent calls to wcstok will continue to return NULL. Otherwise, the 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 delim with a L'\0' character, and it updates *ptr so that subsequent calls will continue searching after the end of recognized token. RETURN VALUEThe wcstok function returns a pointer to the next token, or NULL if no further token was found.NOTESThe original wcs wide-character string is destructively modified during the operation.EXAMPLEThe following code loops over the tokens contained in a wide-character string.
wchar_t *wcs = ...; wchar_t *token; wchar_t *state; for (token = wcstok(wcs, " \t\n", &state); token != NULL; token = wcstok(NULL, " \t\n", &state)) { ... } CONFORMING TOISO/ANSI C, UNIX98SEE ALSOstrtok(3), wcschr(3)
