size_t const_gen_get_token
(
	const char **input_line_ptr,
	char *output_string,
	size_t max_len,
	const char *terminators
);

DESCRIPTION

This routine is similar to gen_get_token except that it makes explicit the constness of **input_line_ptr. You should choose between these routines based on the whether the first argument is (const char**) or (char**). This is prefered over casting as this breaks some C++ compilers.

RETURNS

The number of characters copied to the buffer excluding the NULL. This means that if there are no characters left, then NO_MORE_TOKENS is returned which is #defined as 0.

MACROS

BUFF_CONST_GEN_GET_TOKEN, BUFF_CONST_GEN_GET_TOKEN_OK

NOTE

The documentation for BUFF_GET_TOKEN has a short example of which illustrates the general use of this grouup of parsing routines.
