index, rindex — locate character in string
#include <strings.h>
char *index( |
const char *s, |
int c); |
char *rindex( |
const char *s, |
int c); |
The index() function returns
a pointer to the first occurrence of the character c in the string s.
The rindex() function
returns a pointer to the last occurrence of the character
c in the string
s.
The terminating NULL character is considered to be a part of the strings.
The index() and rindex() functions return a pointer to the
matched character or NULL if the character is not found.
4.3BSD; marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001. POSIX.1-2008
removes the specifications of index() and rindex(), recommending strchr(3) and strrchr(3) instead.
