+/**
+ * strsplit - Split string into an array of substrings
+ * @ctx: the context to tallocate from (often NULL)
+ * @string: the string to split
+ * @delims: delimiters where lines should be split.
+ * @nump: optional pointer to place resulting number of lines
+ *
+ * This function splits a single string into multiple strings.  The
+ * original string is untouched: an array is allocated (using talloc)
+ * pointing to copies of each substring.  Multiple delimiters result
+ * in empty substrings.  By definition, no delimiters will appear in
+ * the substrings.
+ *
+ * The final char * in the array will be NULL, so you can use this or
+ * @nump to find the array length.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *     unsigned int count_long_lines(const char *text)
+ *     {
+ *             char **lines;
+ *             unsigned int i, long_lines = 0;
+ *
+ *             // Can only fail on out-of-memory.
+ *             lines = strsplit(NULL, string, "\n", NULL);
+ *             for (i = 0; lines[i] != NULL; i++)
+ *                     if (strlen(lines[i]) > 80)
+ *                             long_lines++;
+ *             talloc_free(lines);
+ *             return long_lines;
+ *     }

+ * strjoin - Join an array of substrings into one long string
+ * @ctx: the context to tallocate from (often NULL)
+ * @strings: the NULL-terminated array of strings to join
+ * @delim: the delimiter to insert between the strings
+ *
+ * This function joins an array of strings into a single string.  The
+ * return value is allocated using talloc.  Each string in @strings is
+ * followed by a copy of @delim.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *     // Append the string "--EOL" to each line.
+ *     char *append_to_all_lines(const char *string)
+ *     {
