strsep \- extract token from string
.SH SYNOPSIS
Otherwise, this function finds the first token
in the string \fI*stringp\fP, where tokens
are delimited by symbols in the string \fIdelim\fP.
-This token is terminated with a \(aq\\0\(aq character
-(by overwriting the delimiter)
+This token is terminated by overwriting the delimiter
+with a null byte (\(aq\\0\(aq)
and \fI*stringp\fP is updated to point past the token.
In case no delimiter was found, the token is taken to be
the entire string \fI*stringp\fP, and \fI*stringp\fP is made NULL.
