NAME

12       strchr — string scanning operation
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <string.h>
16
17       char *strchr(const char *s, int c);
18

DESCRIPTION

20       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
21       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
22       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2017
23       defers to the ISO C standard.
24
25       The strchr() function shall locate the first occurrence of c (converted
26       to a char) in the string pointed to by s.  The terminating NUL  charac‐
27       ter is considered to be part of the string.
28

RETURN VALUE

30       Upon completion, strchr() shall return a pointer to the byte, or a null
31       pointer if the byte was not found.
