strchr()                 String Function                 strchr()




Find a character in a string

#include <string.h>

cchhaarr *ssttrrcchhrr(_s_t_r_i_n_g, _c_h_a_r_a_c_t_e_r);
cchhaarr *_s_t_r_i_n_g; iinntt _c_h_a_r_a_c_t_e_r;

strchr  searches for  the  first occurrence  of character  within
string.   The null  character at  the end  of string  is included
within the search.  It is equivalent to the COHERENT function iinn-
ddeexx.

strchr  returns a  pointer to the  first occurrence  of character
within string.  If character is not found, it returns NULL.

Having ssttrrcchhrr  search for a null character  will always produce a
pointer to the end of a string.  For example,


        char *string;
        assert(strchr(string, '\0') == string + strlen(string));


never fails.
