Re: POSIX, alpha, strtok() and char *'s...

[Uncle George <gatgul voicenet com>]

i sorta expect it to be casted in one of the .h's. if its not defined, or
u dont include the .h, then the def return is an int ( as so i believe, so
i do ).
u can use gcc -E to see all the includes/cast'ings in the output of the
compile.
