NAME

       strstr - locate a substring

SYNOPSIS

       #include <string.h>

       char *strstr(const char *haystack, const char *needle);

DESCRIPTION

       The  strstr()  function finds the first occurrence of the substring needle in the string haystack.  The terminating `' characters are not
       compared.

RETURN VALUE

       The strstr() function returns a pointer to the beginning of the substring, or NULL if the substring is not found.

BUGS

       Early versions of Linux libc (like 4.5.26) would not allow an empty argument. Later versions  (like  4.6.27)  work  correctly,  and  return
       haystack when needle is empty.

CONFORMING TO

       ISO 9899

NAME

       strstr, strcasestr - locate a substring

SYNOPSIS

       #include <string.h>

       char *strstr(const char *haystack, const char *needle);

       #define _GNU_SOURCE

       #include <string.h>

       char *strcasestr(const char *haystack, const char *needle);

DESCRIPTION

       The  strstr()  function finds the first occurrence of the substring needle in the string haystack.  The terminating '' characters are not
       compared.

       The strcasestr() function is like strstr(), but ignores the case of both arguments.

RETURN VALUE

       These functions return a pointer to the beginning of the substring, or NULL if the substring is not found.

CONFORMING TO

       The strstr() function conforms to C89 and C99.  The strcasestr() function is a nonstandard extension.

BUGS

       Early versions of Linux libc (like 4.5.26) would not allow an empty needle argument for strstr().  Later versions (like 4.6.27)	work  cor-
       rectly, and return haystack when needle is empty.
