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.
