strtoksrchar

The function `strtoksrchar` is a hypothetical or less commonly documented string parsing utility, often found in specialized or proprietary libraries rather than standard programming languages. Its purpose is to tokenize a string by splitting it into substrings based on a specified delimiter character or set of characters. While not part of standard C library functions like `strtok`, it serves a similar purpose with potential variations in behavior or additional features.

In its basic form, `strtoksrchar` typically takes a string and a delimiter character as input, then iterates through the string to identify segments separated by the delimiter. The function may return pointers to each token, allowing sequential processing of the string's components. Unlike `strtok`, which modifies the original string by replacing delimiters with null terminators, `strtoksrchar` might preserve the original string or handle delimiters differently depending on its implementation.

The function often operates in a stateful manner, meaning it retains context between calls to continue parsing from the last identified token. This is useful for processing large strings or streams incrementally. Some implementations may also support multiple delimiters, allowing flexible tokenization based on a set of characters rather than a single delimiter.

While not widely documented in standard libraries, variations of this function exist in certain programming environments, such as embedded systems or domain-specific tools. Developers working with custom string parsing requirements may find similar utilities in third-party libraries or frameworks designed for specific use cases.

For precise usage, refer to the documentation of the specific library or environment where `strtoksrchar` is implemented, as its behavior, parameters, and return values may differ from standard expectations.
