memchr, memrchr − scan memory for a character
#include <string.h>
void *memchr(const void *s, int c, size_t n);
void *memrchr(const void *s, int c, size_t n);
The memchr() function scans the first n bytes of the memory area pointed to by s for the character c. The first byte to match c (interpreted as an unsigned character) stops the operation.
The memrchr() function is like the memchr() function, except that it searches backwards from the end of the n bytes pointed to by s instead of forwards from the front.
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 memchr() function conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C99. The memrchr() function is a GNU extension, available since glibc 2.1.91.
