.TH TOK 3
.SH NAME
tok \- space separated token stream routines
.SH SYNOPSIS
.L "#include <ast.h>"
.sp
.L "void* tokopen(char* string)"
.L "char* tokread(void* tok)"
.L "void tokclose(void* tok)"
.sp
.L "int tokscan(char* string, char** next, const char* format, ...);"
.sp
.L "Sfio_t* tokline(const char* input, int flags, int* line);"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.L tokopen
returns a pointer to a space separated token stream on the 0 terminated
string
.LR string .
.L tokread
returns a pointer to the next
space separated token in the token stream
.L tok
as returned by
.LR tokopen .
0 is returned when no tokens remain.
.L tokread
temporarily modifies
.L string
by inserting 0's to terminate each token.
.L tokclose
closes the token stream and restores
.L string
to its original state.
.PP
.L tokscan
scans the string
.L string
for tokens specified in
.LR format .
It is a more forgiving
.IR sscanf (3).
If
.L "next != 0"
then it will point to the next unread character in
.L string
on return.
The number of scanned tokens is returned.
.L \-1
is returned if 
.L string
was not empty and
.L format
failed to match and tokens.
.PP
.I space
in
.L format
matches 0 or more
.I space
or
.I tab
characters.
.I newline
in format eats the remainder of the current line in
.LR string .
"...", '...' and \e\fIcharacter\fP quotes are interpreted.
A quoted
.I carriage-return
is converted to
.IR newline .
.I newline
in
.L string
is equivalent to end of string except when quoted.
.I \enewline
is a line splice.
.PP
.L %
in
.L format
prefixes format conversion characters; each conversion character 
corresponds to a
.L tokscan
argument following the
.L format
argument.
The format conversions are:
.TP
.L %c
A single 
.LR char .
.TP
.L "%hd %d %ld"
[short, int, long] base 10 integer.
.TP
.L "%hn %n %ln"
[short, int, long] C-style base integer.
.TP
.L "%ho %o %lo"
[short, int, long] base 8 integer.
.TP
.L %s
String.
.TP
.L "%hu %u %lu"
[short, int, long] C-style base unsigned integer.
.TP
.L %v
The next two arguments are a pointer to a
.L char**
argument vector and the maximum number of elements in the vector.
.TP
.L "%hx %x %lx"
[short, int, long] base 16 integer.
.PP
.L %s
and
.L %v
data may also be counted length strings of the form
\f5(\fIcount\fP:\fIdata\fP)\fR
where
.I count
is the number of characters in
.I data
and the terminating
.L )
may also be a
.IR tab ,
or the data may be
.L (null)
which represents the
.L NULL
string.
.PP
.L tokline
returns an
.IR sfio (3)
stream to a file or string that splices
.I \enewline
into single lines,
allows "..." and '...' to quotes to span
.I newlines
(done by translating quoted
.I newline
to
.IR carriage-return ;
.L tokscan
above converts quoted
.I carriage-return
back to 
.IR newline ),
and deletes
.I "# ... newline"
comments.
This is done by pushing an
.I sfio
discipline onto a string or file stream.
Seeks are disabled on the resulting stream.
If
.L "flags == SF_READ"
then
.L input
is a file name;
If
.L "flags == SF_STRING"
then
.L input
is a 0 terminated string;
otherwise
.L input
is an open 
.L Sfio_t*
stream.
If
.L "line != 0"
then it points to a line count that is initialized to 0
and is incremented for each input line.
