Allocate and initialize a xt_ff_dsv_line_t structure. The xt_ff_dsv_line_t structure contains an array of strings, each holding one field from the line, and an an array of delimiters, each holding the character that ended the corresponding field. Note that each field could potentially end with a different delimiter, as multiple delimiters can be specified.

Pointer to a xt_ff_dsv_lint_t object, or NULL if malloc() failed.

EXAMPLES

xt_ff_dsv_line_t  *line = xt_ff_dsv_line_new();
while ( xt_ff_dsv_line_read(line, stdin, "t") != EOF )
{


    xt_ff_dsv_line_write(line, stdout);


    xt_ff_dsv_line_free(line);
}
