From the man page for strtok:
strtok() considers the string s1 to consist of a sequence of
zero or more text tokens separated by spans of one or more
characters from the separator string s2. The first call
(with pointer s1 specified) returns a pointer to the first
character of the first token, and will have written a null
character into s1 immediately following the returned token.
The function keeps track of its position in the string
between separate calls, so that subsequent calls (which must
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
be made with the first argument a NULL pointer) will work
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
through the string s1 immediately following that token. In
this way subsequent calls will work through the string s1
until no tokens remain. The separator string s2 may be dif-
ferent from call to call. When no token remains in s1, a
NULL pointer is returned.
