Re: Including STRTOK_R in a LSM

["Z. Cliffe Schreuders" <c.schreuders@murdoch.edu.au>]

What I need is to ignore double delimiters such as (::). This can be 
done trivially with a string comparison to check for "\0". What I want 
to know is if it is ok to include the strtok_r code in my security 
module, or if strtok was removed for a very good reason. I am porting a 
lot of existing code which already uses strtok_r to a kernel security 
module.

Thanks,

Cliffe.
