+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR memchr ()
+function scans the initial
+.I n
+bytes of the memory
+area pointed to by
+.I s
+for the first instance of
+.IR c .
+Both
+.I c
+and the bytes of the memory area pointed to by
+.I s
+are interpreted as
+.IR "unsigned char" .
+.P
+The
+.BR memrchr ()
+function is like the
+.BR memchr ()
+function,
+except that it searches backward from the end of the
+.I n
+bytes pointed to by
+.I s
+instead of forward from the beginning.
+.P
+The
+.BR rawmemchr ()
+function is similar to
+.BR memchr (),
+but it assumes
+(i.e., the programmer knows for certain)
+that an instance of
+.I c
+lies somewhere in the memory area starting at the location pointed to by
+.IR s .
+If an instance of
+.I c
+is not found, the behavior is undefined.
+Use either
+.BR strlen (3)
+or
+.BR memchr (3)
+instead.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR memchr ()
+and
+.BR memrchr ()
+functions return a pointer
+to the matching byte or NULL if the character does not occur in
+the given memory area.
+.P
+The
+.BR rawmemchr ()
+function returns a pointer to the matching byte.
