... I think the body of the function would become easier to read if
written like so:

	if (!skip_prefix(to_parse, candidate, &atom))
		return 0; /* definitely not "candidate" */

	if (*atom == '=') {
		/* we just saw "candidate=" */
		*valuestart = atom + 1;
                atom = strchrnul(*valuestart, ',');
		*valuelen = atom - *valuestart;
	} else if (*atom != ',' && *atom != '\0') {
        	 /* key begins with "candidate" but has more chars */
		return 0;
	} else {
        	/* just "candidate" without "=val" */
		*valuestart = NULL;
		*valuelen = 0;
	}

        /* atom points at either the ',' or NUL after this key[=val] */
	if (*atom == ',')
		atom++;
	else if (*atom)
		BUG("should not happen");

	*end = atom;
	return 1;

as it is clear that *valuestart, *valuelen, and *end are not touched
when the function returns 0 and they are all filled when the function
returns 1.

Also, avoid passing ",\0" to strcspn(); its effect is exactly the
same as passing ",", and at that point you are better off using
strchnul().

Thanks.
