.SH NAME
strchr, strrchr, strchrnul \- locate character in string
.SH LIBRARY
Standard C library
.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <string.h>
.P
.BI "char *strchr(const char *" s ", int " c );
.BI "char *strrchr(const char *" s ", int " c );
.P

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR strchr ()
function returns a pointer to the first occurrence
of the character
.I c
in the string
.IR s .
.P
The
.BR strrchr ()
function returns a pointer to the last occurrence
of the character
.I c
in the string
.IR s .
.P
The
.BR strchrnul ()
function is like
.BR strchr ()
except that if
.I c
is not found in
.IR s ,
then it returns a pointer to the null byte
at the end of
.IR s ,
rather than NULL.
.P
Here "character" means "byte"; these functions do not work with
wide or multibyte characters.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR strchr ()
and
.BR 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
.I c
is specified as \[aq]\e0\[aq],
these functions return a pointer to the terminator.
.P
The
.BR strchrnul ()
function returns a pointer to the matched character,
or a pointer to the null byte at the end of
.I s
(i.e.,
.IR "s+strlen(s)" )
if the character is not found.
