FUNCTION
<<memchr>>---find character in memory
INDEX
memchr
ANSI_SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
void *memchr(const void *<[src]>, int <[c]>, size_t <[length]>);
TRAD_SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
void *memchr(<[src]>, <[c]>, <[length]>)
void *<[src]>;
void *<[c]>;
size_t <[length]>;
DESCRIPTION
This function searches memory starting at <<*<[src]>>> for the
character <[c]>. The search only ends with the first
occurrence of <[c]>, or after <[length]> characters; in
particular, <<NULL>> does not terminate the search.
RETURNS
If the character <[c]> is found within <[length]> characters
of <<*<[src]>>>, a pointer to the character is returned. If
<[c]> is not found, then <<NULL>> is returned.
PORTABILITY
<<memchr>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
