PROLOG

       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       rindex - character string operations (LEGACY)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <strings.h>

       char *rindex(const char *s, int c);

DESCRIPTION

       The rindex() function shall be equivalent to strrchr() .

RETURN VALUE

       Refer to strrchr().

ERRORS

       Refer to strrchr().

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       The strrchr() function is preferred over this function.

       For maximum portability, it is recommended to replace the function call to rindex() as follows:

	      #define rindex(a,b) strrchr((a),(b))

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       This function may be withdrawn in a future version.

PROLOG

NAME

       strrchr - string scanning operation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <string.h>

       char *strrchr(const char *s, int c);

DESCRIPTION

       The strrchr() function shall locate the last occurrence of c (converted to a char) in the string pointed to by s. The terminating null byte
       is considered to be part of the string.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, strrchr() shall return a pointer to the byte or a null pointer if c does not occur in the string.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

   Finding the Base Name of a File
       The  following  example	uses  strrchr() to get a pointer to the base name of a file. The strrchr() function searches backwards through the
       name of the file to find the last '/' character in name. This pointer (plus one) will point to the base name of the file.

	      #include <string.h>
	      ...
	      const char *name;
	      char *basename;
	      ...
	      basename = strrchr(name, '/') + 1;
	      ...

APPLICATION USAGE

       None.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
