NAME
rindex -- locate character in string LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h> char * rindex(const char *s, int c); DESCRIPTION
The rindex() function locates the last character matching c (converted to a char) in the nul-terminated string s. RETURN VALUES
A pointer to the character is returned if it is found; otherwise NULL is returned. If c is '', rindex() locates the terminating ''. SEE ALSO
index(3), memchr(3), strchr(3), strcspn(3), strpbrk(3), strrchr(3), strsep(3), strspn(3), strstr(3), strtok(3) STANDARDS
The rindex() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1''). The IEEE Std 1003.1-2004 (``POSIX.1'') revision marked it as legacy and recommended the use of strrchr(3) instead. The IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'') revision removed rindex() from the specification. HISTORY
A rindex() function appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX. BSD
