strrchr(3)


NAME

   strchr, strrchr, strchrnul - locate character in string

SYNOPSIS

   #include <string.h>

   char *strchr(const char *s, int c);

   char *strrchr(const char *s, int c);

   #define _GNU_SOURCE         /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
   #include <string.h>

   char *strchrnul(const char *s, int c);

DESCRIPTION

   The  strchr() function returns a pointer to the first occurrence of the
   character c in the string s.

   The strrchr() function returns a pointer to the last occurrence of  the
   character c in the string s.

   The strchrnul() function is like strchr() except that if c is not found
   in s, then it returns a pointer to the null  byte  at  the  end  of  s,
   rather than NULL.

   Here "character" means "byte"; these functions do not work with wide or
   multibyte characters.

RETURN VALUE

   The strchr() and strrchr() functions return a pointer  to  the  matched
   character  or NULL if the character is not found.  The terminating null
   byte is considered part of the string, so that if  c  is  specified  as
   '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator.

   The strchrnul() function returns a pointer to the matched character, or
   a pointer to the null byte at the end of s (i.e., s+strlen(s))  if  the
   character is not found.

VERSIONS

   strchrnul() first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.1.
