STRCHR(3)                BSD Library Functions Manual                STRCHR(3)

NAME
     strchr, strrchr -- locate character in string

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <string.h>

     char *
     strchr(const char *s, int c);

     char *
     strrchr(const char *s, int c);

DESCRIPTION
     The strchr() function locates the first occurrence of c (converted to a
     char) in the string pointed to by s.  The terminating null character is
     considered to be part of the string; therefore if c is `\0', the func-tions functions
     tions locate the terminating `\0'.

     The strrchr() function is identical to strchr(), except it locates the
     last occurrence of c.

RETURN VALUES
     The functions strchr() and strrchr() return a pointer to the located
     character, or NULL if the character does not appear in the string.

SEE ALSO
     memchr(3), strcspn(3), strpbrk(3), strsep(3), strspn(3), strstr(3),
     strtok(3)

STANDARDS
     The functions strchr() and strrchr() conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1990
     (``ISO C90'').
