I dont understand this parser code

[Salrandin]

void my_split(const char* tosplit, const char* delim, char** parsed, int* len)
{
    char *local = strdup(tosplit);
    char *tok = strtok(local, delim);
    int i = 0;
    while(tok) {
        *parsed++ = strdup(tok);
        i++;
        tok = strtok(NULL, delim);
    }
    *len = i;
    free(local);
} 

Can anyone explain this to me? i know it parses with a delimeter
but im not quite sure how it works

Here you go, comments added

  char *local = strdup(tosplit); // makes a copy of tosplit, and 
  // returns a pointer to the allocated copy

    char *tok = strtok(local, delim); // split local into tokens using
    // delim, store the first token in tok

    int i = 0; // counter for token

    while(tok) { // while token is not null

        *parsed++ = strdup(tok); // makes a copy of token, 
        // returns a pointer to the allocated copy which is stored in 
        // parsed, parsed is then increment to point to the next 
        // pointer

        i++; // increment the number of tokens parsed

        tok = strtok(NULL, delim); // get next token

    }

    *len = i; // stores the number of tokens in len

    free(local); // frees the memory taken up local

// when the function returns, *parsed will contain tokens created from tosplit

thx, it takes in a string as a delimiter right?

NP. Yes the function takes in both the string to tokenise, and a string which contains the delimiters.
