The terminating '\\0' characters are not compared. .SH "RETURN VALUE" \fIstrrstr\fR returns a pointer to the first character of the substring, or \fBNULL\fR if the substring is not found. .SH EXAMPLE To print out everything on each line starting with the last occurrence of "/* " on each line, you might use the following code: .sp 1 .nf .in +5 #include #include int main(void) { char *p, line[512]; while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), stdin) != NULL) { p = strrstr(line, "/* "); if (p != NULL) printf("%s", p); } return 0; } .in -5 .SH "SEE ALSO" publib(3), string(3), strstr(3) .SH AUTHOR Lars Wirzenius (lars.wirzenius@helsinki.fi)
