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

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR strchr ()
+function returns a pointer to the first occurrence
+of the character
+.I c
+in the string
+.IR s .
+.PP
+The
+.BR strrchr ()
+function returns a pointer to the last occurrence
+of the character
+.I c
+in the string
+.IR s .
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+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.
