- * nxtarg -- strip off arguments from a string
- *
- * Usage: p = nxtarg (&q,brk);
- * char *p,*q,*brk;
- * extern char _argbreak;
- *
- * q is pointer to next argument in string
- * after call, p points to string containing argument,
- * q points to remainder of string
- *
- * Leading blanks and tabs are skipped; the argument ends at the
- * first occurence of one of the characters in the string "brk".
- * When such a character is found, it is put into the external
- * variable "_argbreak", and replaced by a null character; if the
- * arg string ends before that, then the null character is
- * placed into _argbreak;
- * If "brk" is 0, then " " is substituted.
- *
- * HISTORY
- * $Log: nxtarg.c,v $
- * Revision 1.2 90/12/11 17:57:10 mja
- * Add copyright/disclaimer for distribution.
- *
- * 01-Jul-83 Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
- * Bug fix: added check for "back >= front" in loop to chop trailing
- * white space.
- *
- * 20-Nov-79 Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
- * Rewritten for VAX. By popular demand, a table of break characters
- * has been added (implemented as a string passed into nxtarg).
- *
- * Originally from klg (Ken Greer); IUS/SUS UNIX.
