strcspn -- span the complement of a string
LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
size_t
strcspn(const char *s, const char *charset);
DESCRIPTION
The strcspn() function spans the initial part of the nul-terminated string s as long as the characters from s do not occur in string charset
(it spans the complement of charset).
RETURN VALUES

EXAMPLES
The following call to strcspn() will return 3, since the first three characters of string s do not occur in string charset:
char *s = "foobar";
char *charset = "bar";
size_t span;
span = strcspn(s, charset);
