.SH NAME
uoffset \- Finds the offset of a character in a string. Allegro game programming library.\&
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <allegro.h>

.sp
.B int uoffset(const char *s, int index);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Finds out the offset (in bytes from the start of the string) of the
character at the specified `index' in the string `s'. A zero `index'
parameter will return the first character of the string. If `index' is
negative, it counts backward from the end of the string, so an `index' of
`-1' will return an offset to the last character. Example:

.nf
   int from_third_letter = uoffset(text_string, 2);
.fi
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
Returns the offset in bytes to the specified character.
