Hi,
The man page of strtok mention that strtok returns a pointer to the next
token or NULL if there are no more tokens :
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strtok.3.html
I can see how the "no more tokens" would apply in this case, but it seems
like not many people are aware of this case.
Can you list the descriptions of strtok that explain this behavior ?
I am very interested in reading about it.
Thank you.
