Re: [LIP] query regarding strtok return value.

Hi :)
Assuming: 
char *result;
result = strtok(...);

You can't do free (result) because strtok probably doesn't use 
malloc when returning - you'll get segmentation fault. It only pass 
a address to a pointer.

I think you have only to write 
result=0;
 
Hope To Help
