MEMCHR(3)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 MEMCHR(3)

NAME
       memchr, memrchr, rawmemchr - scan memory for a character
SYNOPSIS
       #include <string.h>
       void *memchr(const void *s, int c, size_t n);
       void *memrchr(const void *s, int c, size_t n);
       void *rawmemchr(const void *s, int c);
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       memrchr(), rawmemchr(): _GNU_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
       The  memchr()  function  scans  the  initial n bytes of the memory area
       pointed to by s for the first instance of c.  Both c and the  bytes  of
       the memory area pointed to by s are interpreted as unsigned char.
       The  memrchr()  function  is like the memchr() function, except that it
       searches backward from the end of the n bytes pointed to by  s  instead
       of forward from the beginning.
       The  rawmemchr() function is similar to memchr(): it assumes (i.e., the
       programmer knows for certain) that an instance of c lies  somewhere  in
       the  memory  area starting at the location pointed to by s, and so per-
       forms an optimized search for c (i.e., no use of a  count  argument  to
       limit  the range of the search).  If an instance of c is not found, the
       results are unpredictable.  The following  call  is  a  fast  means  of
       locating a string's terminating null byte:
           char *p = rawmemchr(s, '\0');
RETURN VALUE
       The  memchr()  and memrchr() functions return a pointer to the matching
       byte or NULL if the character does not occur in the given memory area.
       The rawmemchr() function returns a pointer to the matching byte, if one
       is found.  If no matching byte is found, the result is unspecified.
VERSIONS
