23  .SH NAME
24  
25  rtapi_string.h \- RTAPI wrappers for linux kernel functionality
26  
27  .SH SYNTAX
28  .HP
29  #include <rtapi_string.h>
30  .HP
31  char **rtapi_argv_split(rtapi_gfp_t g, const char *argstr, int *argc);
32  .HP
33  void rtapi_argv_free(char **argv);
34  .HP
35  char *rtapi_kstrdup(const char *s, rtapi_gfp_t t);
36  .SH DESCRIPTION
37  In kernel space, each rtapi_xxx or RTAPI_XXX identifier is mapped to the
38  underlying kernel functionality, if available.
39  
40  In userspace, or in kernels where the underlying functionality is not provided
41  by a kernel, generally another implementation--possibly with reduced
42  functionality--is provided.  (For example, the userspace implementation for
43  rtapi_device_register always succeeds)
44  .SH REALTIME CONSIDERATIONS
45  Call only from within init/cleanup code, not from realtime tasks.  This
46  function is not available from user (non-realtime) code.
47  .SH RETURN VALUE
48  As in Linux.
