a string to split
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.
the maximum number of pieces 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.
Splits a string into a maximum of max_tokens pieces, using the given delimiter. If max_tokens is reached, the remainder of string is appended to the last token. 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().
