/* parsing routines for the counted string class. These
 * routines provide generic parsing aid as well some fairly
 * complex routines targeted toward specific needs.
 *
 * General information - read this:
 * All routines work on a single CStr object, which must be supplied
 * during construction. The parse class keeps an internal pointer of
 * where the next parse operation is to start (you could also say
 * this is where the last parse operation stopped).
 *
 * Each parse operation carried out by this package starts from the
 * parse pointer, parses the caller-requested element (e.g. an
 * integer or delemited string) and the update the parse pointer. If
 * the caller tries to parse beyond the end of the original string,
 * an error is returned. In general, all functions return a parsRet
 * error code and all require the parseObj to be the first parameter.
 * The to-be-parsed string provided to the parse object MUST NOT be
 * freed or modified by the caller during the lifetime of the parse
 * object. However, the caller must free it when it is no longer needed.
 * Optinally, the parse object can be instructed to do that. All objects
 * returned by the parse routines must be freed by the caller. For
 * simpler data types (like integers), the caller must provide the
 * necessary buffer space.
