SYNOPSIS
     #include <string.h>

     void *
     memmem(const void *block, size_t blen, const void *pat, size_t plen);

DESCRIPTION
     The memmem() function locates the first occurrence of the binary string pat of size plen bytes in the byte string block of size blen bytes.

RETURN VALUES
     The memmem() function returns a pointer to the substring located, or NULL if no such substring exists within block.

     If plen is zero, block is returned, i.e. a zero length pat is deemed to match the start of the string, as with strstr(3).
