[Coco] Kreider OS-9 C Library

[James Jones]

The source does indeed help. Expressed in terms of the C standard
libraries  (in particular those in string.h),

   - skipbl(s) returns the value you'd get from s + strspn(s, " "), i.e. a
   pointer to the first character in s that's not a space (if it's all spaces,
   that would be a pointer to the terminating NUL).
   - skipwd(s) returns the value you'd get from strpbrk(s, " \t"), i.e. a
   pointer to the first character in s that's either a space or a tab (or s's
   terminating NUL if there aren't any spaces or tabs in s).
