.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function parses a string containing a comma\-separated list of integers, a hyphen\-separated range of _positive_ integers, or a combination of both\&. The parse halts when the array is full, or when no more numbers can be retrieved from the string\&.
.PP
Return value is the character in the string which caused the parse to end (typically a null terminator, if
\fIstr\fR
is completely parseable)\&.
