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');

STANDARDS

     The strchr() function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 ("ANSI C89").

     The index() function is deprecated and shouldn't be used in new code.
