STRCHR(3) | Linux Programmer's Manual | STRCHR(3) |
NAME¶
strchr, strrchr, strchrnul - locate character in stringSYNOPSIS¶
#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.VERSIONS¶
strchrnul() first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.1.CONFORMING TO¶
strchr() and strrchr() are in SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89, C99. strchrnul() is a GNU extension.SEE ALSO¶
