.Fn strchr "const char *s" "int c"
.Ft "char *"
.Fn strrchr "const char *s" "int c"
.Ft "char *"
.Fn strchrnul "const char *s" "int c"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn strchr
function locates the first occurrence of
.Fa c
(converted to a
.Vt char )
in the string pointed to by
.Fa s .
The terminating null character is considered part of the string;
therefore if
.Fa c
is
.Ql \e0 ,
the functions locate the terminating
.Ql \e0 .
.Pp
The
.Fn strrchr
function is identical to
.Fn strchr
except it locates the last occurrence of
.Fa c .
.Pp
The
.Fn strchrnul
function is identical to
.Fn strchr
except that if
.Fa c
is not found in
.Fa s
a pointer to the terminating
.Ql \e0
is returned.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The functions
.Fn strchr
and
.Fn strrchr
return a pointer to the located character, or
.Dv NULL
if the character does not appear in the string.
.Pp
.Fn strchrnul
returns a pointer to the terminating
.Ql \e0
if the character does not appear in the string.
