+ * strsplit - Split string into an array of substrings
+ * @ctx: the parent to tal from (often NULL)
+ * @string: the string to split
+ * @delims: delimiters where lines should be split.
+ * @flags: whether to include empty substrings.
+ *
+ * This function splits a single string into multiple strings.  The
+ * original string is untouched: an array is allocated (using tal)
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *	#include <ccan/tal/str/str.h>
+ *	...
+ *	static unsigned int count_long_lines(const char *string)
+ *	{
+ *		char **lines;
+ *		unsigned int i, long_lines = 0;
+ *
+ *		// Can only fail on out-of-memory.
+ *		lines = strsplit(NULL, string, "\n", STR_NO_EMPTY);
+ *		for (i = 0; lines[i] != NULL; i++)
+ *			if (strlen(lines[i]) > 80)
+ *				long_lines++;
+ *		tal_free(lines);
+ *		return long_lines;

+ * ...: pointers to strings to allocate for subexpressions.

+ * Returns true if we matched, in which case any parenthesized
+ * expressions in @regex are allocated and placed in the char **
+ * arguments following @regex.  NULL arguments mean the match is not
+ * saved.  The order of the strings is the order

+ *
+ * Allocation failures or malformed regular expressions return false.
+ *
+ * See Also:
+ *	regcomp(3), regex(3).

+ * Example:
+ *	// Given 'My name is Rusty' outputs 'Hello Rusty!'
+ *	// Given 'my first name is Rusty Russell' outputs 'Hello Rusty Russell!'
+ *	// Given 'My name isnt Rusty Russell' outputs 'Hello there!'
