This introduces a few new APIs for dealing with strings. One to split a char * into a char **, another to join a char ** into a char *, and finally one to free a char **
Opps, the virstring.c file should have this patch spliced in
Oh, you're copying code. Which means my suggestion of letting the user specify a length rather than forcing them to NULL-terminate their array would mean you are no longer matching the version that you copied from (not necessarily a bad thing).
+/** + * virStringSplit: + * @string: a string to split + * @delim: a string which specifies the places at which to split + * the string. The delimiter is not included in any of the resulting + * strings, unless @max_tokens is reached. + * @max_tokens: the maximum number of pieces to split @string into. + * If this is less than 1, the string is split completely.
"less than 1" means "exactly 0", since it is an unsigned param.
