# buffer\_get\_token(3)

read token from buffer

## NAME

buffer\_get\_token - read token from buffer

## SYNTAX

**#include \<libowfat/buffer.h\>**

ssize\_t **buffer\_get\_token**(buffer\* *b*,char\* *x*,size\_t *len*,\
                  const char\* *charset*,size\_t *setlen*);

## DESCRIPTION

buffer\_get\_token copies data from *b* to *x*\[0\], *x*\[1\], ..., *x*\[*len*-1\] until *len* bytes have been copied or one of *charset*\[0\], *charset*\[1\], ..., *charset*\[*setlen*\] equals the last byte that was read.  buffer\_get\_token returns the number of bytes read or -1 on error (setting *errno* appropriately).
