strtok_r or strtok_s

Apr 1 '08, 03:58 PM

OK,

I have used the strtok_r for the re-entrant posix capability, I just noticed that VC 2008 has a strtok_s what is this? It works the same but does not mention the reason for the change.

Is it a windows strtok_r equivalent?

strtok_s is a secure version of strtok that does not overrun buffers.

It is Microsoft specific.
