MEMCHR - find first occurrence of a character in a string.
(ANSI Standard)
Usage:
#include <string.h>
ptr = memchr( s, c, N );
Where:
- const void *s;
- points to the string to be scanned.
- int c;
- is the character to look for.
- size_t N;
- is the number of characters to look at before giving up.
- void *ptr;
- points to the first occurrence of the character in the
string. If the character is not found, the NULL pointer
is returned.
Description:
"memchr" returns a pointer to the first occurrence
of the character "c" in the first N characters of the
string "s".
Unlike "strchr", "memchr" ignores any '\0'
bytes it comes across; thus it does not stop if it finds the end
of the string, but keeps on going until it has looked at N
characters.
