/*
 * parse(line_ptr, argc_ptr)
 *
 * Function:
 *      Parses line, dividing at whitespace, into tokens, returns
 *      the "argc" and "argv" values.
 * Arguments:
 *      line_ptr (char *)
 *              Pointer to text string to be parsed.
 *      argc_ptr (int *)
 *              Where to put the "argc" (number of tokens) value.
 * Returns:
 *      argv (char **)
 *              Series of pointers to parsed tokens.
