     37 FUNCTION loc_split_string
     38 
     39 DESCRIPTION:
     40     This function is used to split a delimiter separated string into
     41     sub-strings. This function does not allocate new memory to store the split
     42     strings. Instead, it places '\0' in places of delimiters and assings the
     43     starting address of the substring within the raw string as the string address
     44     The input raw_string no longer remains to be a collection of sub-strings
     45     after this function is executed.
     46     Please make a copy of the input string before calling this function if
     47     necessary
     48 
     49 PARAMETERS:
     50     char *raw_string: is the original string with delimiter separated substrings
     51     char **split_strings_ptr: is the arraw of pointers which will hold the addresses
     52                               of individual substrings
     53     int max_num_substrings: is the maximum number of substrings that are expected
     54                             by the caller. The array of pointers in the above parameter
     55                             is usually this long
     56     char delimiter: is the delimiter that separates the substrings. Examples: ' ', ';'
     57

     60 
     61 RETURN VALUE
     62     int Number of split strings
     63 
     64 SIDE EFFECTS
     65     The input raw_string no longer remains a delimiter separated single string.
     66 
     67 EXAMPLE
     68     delimiter = ' ' //space
     69     raw_string = "hello new user" //delimiter is space ' '
     70     addresses  =  0123456789abcd
     71     split_strings_ptr[0] = &raw_string[0]; //split_strings_ptr[0] contains "hello"
     72     split_strings_ptr[1] = &raw_string[6]; //split_strings_ptr[1] contains "new"
     73     split_strings_ptr[2] = &raw_string[a]; //split_strings_ptr[2] contains "user"
