+/** @fn  memccpy(void *t, const void *f, int c, size_t n)
+@param t
+@param f
+@param c
+@param n
+@return   memccpy function returns a pointer to the next character in t after c, or NULL if c was not found in the first n characters of f.
+
+  The memccpy function
+copies bytes from string f to string t. If the character c (as converted to an unsigned char) occurs in the string f, the copy stops and a pointer to the byte after the copy of c in the string t is returned.
+Otherwise, n bytes are copied, and a NULL pointer is returned.
+
+Examples:
+@code
+#include <string.h>
+#include <stdio.h>
+int main()
+{
+    char one[50] = {"\0"};
+    (void) memccpy(one, "abcdefgh",8,3);
+    printf("String after memcpy %s
+",one);
+    (void) memccpy(one, "Hello",5,1);
+    printf("String after memcpy %s

+ Note that it does not NULL terminate chararray because the length of the source string is greater than or equal

+Security considerations:
+
+ The strcat function is easily misused in a manner

+than it can hold. Note that strncat can also be problematic.
+It may be a security concern for a string to be truncated at all.
+Since the truncated string will not be as long as the original,
+it may refer to a completely different resource
+and usage of the truncated resource
+could result in very incorrect behavior.

+/** @fn  strlcpy(char *dst, const char *src, size_t size)
+@param dst
+@param src
+@param size
+
+Note: This description also covers the following functions -
+ strlcat() 
+
+@return   The strlcpy and strlcat functions return the total length of the string they tried to
+create.
+For strlcpy that means the length of src .
+For strlcat that means the initial length of dst plus
+the length of src .
+While this may seem somewhat confusing it was done to make
+truncation detection simple. Note however, that if strlcat traverses size characters without finding a NULL, the length of the string is 
+  considered to be size and the destination string will not be NULL-terminated (since there 
+  was no space for the NULL). This prevents strlcat from running off the end of a string. In practice this should 
+  not happen (as it means that either size is incorrect or that dst is not a proper "C" string). The check exists to prevent potential security problems in incorrect 
+  code.
+
+  The strlcpy and strlcat functions copy and concatenate strings respectively. They are 
+designed to be safer, more consistent, and less error prone replacements for strncpy and strncat. Unlike those functions, strlcpy and strlcat take the full size of the buffer (not just the length) and guarantee 
+to NULL-terminate the result (as long as size is larger than 0 or, in the case of strlcat , as long as there is at least one byte free in dst ). Note that you should include a byte for the NULL in size . Also note that strlcpy and strlcat only operate on true "C" strings. This means that for strlcpy src must be NUL-terminated and for strlcat both src and dst must be NULL-terminated.
+
+ The strlcpy function copies up to size - 1 characters from the NULL-terminated string src to dst , NULL-terminating the result.
+
+ The strlcat function appends the NULL-terminated string src to the end of dst . It will append at most size - strlen(dst) - 1 bytes, NULL-terminating the result.
+
+
+
+Examples:
+ The following code fragment illustrates the simple case:
+@code
+char *s, *p, buf[BUFSIZ];
+...
+(void)strlcpy(buf, s, sizeof(buf));
+(void)strlcat(buf, p, sizeof(buf));
+
+@endcode
+ To detect truncation, perhaps while building a pathname, something
+like the following might be used:
+@code
+char *dir, *file, pname[MAXPATHLEN];
+...
+if (strlcpy(pname, dir, sizeof(pname)) >= sizeof(pname))
+        goto toolong;
+if (strlcat(pname, file, sizeof(pname)) >= sizeof(pname))
+        goto toolong;
+
+@endcode
+ Since we know how many characters we copied the first time, we can
+speed things up a bit by using a copy instead of an append:
+@code
+char *dir, *file, pname[MAXPATHLEN];
+size_t n;
+...
+n = strlcpy(pname, dir, sizeof(pname));
+if (n >= sizeof(pname))
+        goto toolong;
+if (strlcpy(pname + n, file, sizeof(pname) - n) >= sizeof(pname) - n)
+        goto toolong;
+
+@endcode
+ However, one may question the validity of such optimizations, as they
+defeat the whole purpose of strlcpy and strlcat .
+As a matter of fact, the first version of this manual page got it wrong.
+Examples:
+@code
+#include <string.h>
+#include <stdio.h>
+int main()
+{
+    char one[50] = {"abcdefgh"};
+    printf("String before strcpy %s
+",one);
+    strlcpy(one,"Hello");
+    printf("String after strcpy %s
+",one);
+    strlcpy(one + 5, " ",1);
+    strlcpy(one + 6, "World",5);
+    printf("String after strncpy %s
+",one);
+    return 0;

+@return   strtok function returns a pointer to the next token, or NULL if there are no more tokens.
+
+  This interface is superceded by strsep .
+
+ The strtok function

+These tokens are separated in the string by at least one of the

+The separator string, delim ,
+must be supplied each time, and may change between calls.
+
+ The implementation will behave as if no library function calls strtok .
+
+ The strtok_r function is a reentrant version of strtok .
+The context pointer last must be provided on each call.
+The strtok_r function
+may also be used to nest two parsing loops within one another, as
+long as separate context pointers are used.

+ The strtok and strtok_r functions

+may return a non- NULL value.
+Since this implementation always alters the next starting point,
