## @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{tok}, @var{rem}] =} strtok (@var{str}, @var{delim})
##
## Find all characters in the string @var{str} up to, but not including, the
## first character which is in the string @var{delim}.  If @var{rem} is
## requested, it contains the remainder of the string, starting at the first
## delimiter.  Leading delimiters are ignored.  If @var{delim} is not
## specified, whitespace is assumed.  @var{str} may also be a cell array of
## strings in which case the function executes on every individual string
## and returns a cell array of tokens and remainders.
##
## Examples:
##
## @example
## @group
## strtok ("this is the life")
##      @result{} "this"
##
## [tok, rem] = strtok ("14*27+31", "+-*/")
