NAME
strstr, strcasestr, strnstr -- locate a substring in a string
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> char * strstr(const char *haystack, const char *needle); char * strcasestr(const char *haystack, const char *needle); char * strnstr(const char *haystack, const char *needle, size_t len); #include <string.h> #include <xlocale.h> char * strcasestr_l(const char *haystack, const char *needle, locale_t loc);
DESCRIPTION
The strstr() function locates the first occurrence of the null-terminated string needle in the null-terminated string haystack. The strcasestr() function is similar to strstr(), but ignores the case of both strings. The strnstr() function locates the first occurrence of the null-terminated string needle in the string haystack, where not more than len characters are searched. Characters that appear after a '' character are not searched. Since the strnstr() function is a FreeBSD specific API, it should only be used when portability is not a concern. While the strcasestr() function uses the current locale, the strcasestr_l() function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more information.
RETURN VALUES
If needle is an empty string, haystack is returned; if needle occurs nowhere in haystack, NULL is returned; otherwise a pointer to the first character of the first occurrence of needle is returned.
EXAMPLES
The following sets the pointer ptr to the "Bar Baz" portion of largestring: const char *largestring = "Foo Bar Baz"; const char *smallstring = "Bar"; char *ptr; ptr = strstr(largestring, smallstring); The following sets the pointer ptr to NULL, because only the first 4 characters of largestring are searched: const char *largestring = "Foo Bar Baz"; const char *smallstring = "Bar"; char *ptr; ptr = strnstr(largestring, smallstring, 4);
