.SH NAME
rtapi_string.h \- RTAPI wrappers for linux kernel functionality
.SH SYNTAX
.HP
#include <rtapi_string.h>
.HP
char **rtapi_argv_split(rtapi_gfp_t g, const char *argstr, int *argc);
.HP
void rtapi_argv_free(char **argv);
.HP
char *rtapi_kstrdup(const char *s, rtapi_gfp_t t);
.SH DESCRIPTION
In kernel space, each rtapi_xxx or RTAPI_XXX identifier is mapped to the
underlying kernel functionality, if available.
In userspace, or in kernels where the underlying functionality is not provided
by a kernel, generally another implementation--possibly with reduced
functionality--is provided. (For example, the userspace implementation for
rtapi_device_register always succeeds)
.SH REALTIME CONSIDERATIONS
Call only from within init/cleanup code, not from realtime tasks. This
function is not available from user (non-realtime) code.
.SH RETURN VALUE
As in Linux.
