STRCHR(3) Linux Programmer's Manual STRCHR(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.
