                     12: index  scans the  given string  for the  first occurrence  of the
                     13: character c.  If  c is found, index returns a  pointer to it.  If
                     14: it is not found, index returns NULL.

                     16: Note that  having iinnddeexx search  for a null  character will always
                     17: produce a pointer to the end of a string.  For example,

                     36: This  function is  identical  to the  function  strchr, which  is
                     37: described in the  ANSI standard.  COHERENT includes strchr in its
                     38: libraries.  It is recommended that it be used instead of index so
                     39: that programs  more closely  approach strict conformity  with the
                     40: ANSI standard.
