Calls to strtok

In subclause 7.11.5.8 on page 167, line 36, “... first call ...” should read “... all calls ...”

I think that the current wording causes confusion. The first call is the one that takes a non-NULL “s1” parameter. However, the discussion from line 36 onwards is describing the behavior for all calls.

Response

The Committee felt that the suggested wording for the strtok function description is not an improvement. The existing wording is clear as written.
