STRCHR(3) BSD Programmer's Manual STRCHR(3)NAME
strchr, index - locate first occurrence of a character in a string
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
char *
strchr(const char *s, int c);
char *
index(const char *s, int c);
DESCRIPTION
The strchr() function locates the first occurrence of the character c in
the string s. The terminating NUL character is considered part of the
string. If c is '\0', strchr() locates the terminating '\0'.
The index() function is an old synonym for strchr().
RETURN VALUES
The strchr() function returns a pointer to the located character or NULL
if the character does not appear in the string.
EXAMPLES
After the following call to strchr(), p will point to the string "oobar":
char *p;
char *s = "foobar";
p = strchr(s, 'o');
