\#include \<ldns/ldns.h\>

ssize\_t ldns\_fget\_token(FILE \*f, char \*token, const char \*delim, size\_t limit);

void ldns\_fskipcs(FILE \*fp, const char \*s);

## DESCRIPTION

*ldns\_fget\_token*() returns a token/char from the stream F. This function deals with ( and ) in the stream, and ignores them when encountered .br **\*f**: the file to read from .br **\*token**: the read token is put here .br **\*delim**: chars at which the parsing should stop .br **\*limit**: how much to read. If 0 the builtin maximum is used .br Returns 0 on error of EOF of the stream F.  Otherwise return the length of what is read

*ldns\_fskipcs*() skips all of the characters in the given string in the fp, moving the position to the first character that is not in \*s. .br **\*fp**: file to use .br **\*s**: characters to skip .br Returns void
