The string to be tokenized
A nul-terminated string containing bytes that are used to split the string.
The maximum number of tokens to split @string into. If this is less than 1, the string is split completely
a newly-allocated %NULL-terminated array of strings. Use g_strfreev() to free it.
2.4
Splits @string into a number of tokens not containing any of the characters in @delimiter. A token is the (possibly empty) longest string that does not contain any of the characters in @delimiters. If @max_tokens is reached, the remainder is appended to the last token.
For example the result of g_strsplit_set ("abc:def/ghi", ":/", -1) is a %NULL-terminated vector containing the three strings "abc", "def", and "ghi".
The result of g_strsplit_set (":def/ghi:", ":/", -1) is a %NULL-terminated vector containing the four strings "", "def", "ghi", and "".
As a special case, the result of splitting the empty string "" is an empty vector, not a vector containing a single string. The reason for this special case is that being able to represent a empty vector is typically more useful than consistent handling of empty elements. If you do need to represent empty elements, you'll need to check for the empty string before calling g_strsplit_set().
Note that this function works on bytes not characters, so it can't be used to delimit UTF-8 strings for anything but ASCII characters.
