is the tab ('\t') included in the first token? If so, how do I get rid of it?

int main () {
   char str[100] = "\tgcc -Wall -g -std=gnu99 -c shit.c";
   const char s[2] = " ";
   char *token;

   /* get the first token */
   token = strtok(str, s);

   /* walk through other tokens */
   while(token != NULL ) {
      printf( "\n%s", token );
      token = strtok(NULL, s);
   }
   return(0);
}
