37FUNCTION loc_split_string
38
39DESCRIPTION:
40 This function is used to split a delimiter separated string into
41 sub-strings. This function does not allocate new memory to store the split
42 strings. Instead, it places '\0' in places of delimiters and assings the
43 starting address of the substring within the raw string as the string address
44 The input raw_string no longer remains to be a collection of sub-strings
45 after this function is executed.
46 Please make a copy of the input string before calling this function if
47 necessary
48
49PARAMETERS:
50 char *raw_string: is the original string with delimiter separated substrings
51 char **split_strings_ptr: is the arraw of pointers which will hold the addresses
52 of individual substrings
53 int max_num_substrings: is the maximum number of substrings that are expected
54 by the caller. The array of pointers in the above parameter
55 is usually this long
56 char delimiter: is the delimiter that separates the substrings. Examples: ' ', ';'

59 N/A
60
61RETURN VALUE
62 int Number of split strings
63
64SIDE EFFECTS
65 The input raw_string no longer remains a delimiter separated single string.
66
67EXAMPLE
68 delimiter = ' ' //space
69 raw_string = "hello new user" //delimiter is space ' '
70 addresses = 0123456789abcd
71 split_strings_ptr[0] = &raw_string[0]; //split_strings_ptr[0] contains "hello"
72 split_strings_ptr[1] = &raw_string[6]; //split_strings_ptr[1] contains "new"
73 split_strings_ptr[2] = &raw_string[a]; //split_strings_ptr[2] contains "user"
