51 * argv_split - split a string at whitespace, returning an argv
52 * @gfp: the GFP mask used to allocate memory
53 * @str: the string to be split
54 * @argcp: returned argument count
56 * Returns an array of pointers to strings which are split out from
57 * @str. This is performed by strictly splitting on white-space; no
58 * quote processing is performed. Multiple whitespace characters are
59 * considered to be a single argument separator. The returned array
60 * is always NULL-terminated. Returns NULL on memory allocation
