INDEX(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		      INDEX(3)

NAME
     index, rindex — locate character in string

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <strings.h>

     char *
     index(const char *s, int c);

     char *
     rindex(const char *s, int c);

DESCRIPTION
     The index() function locates the first occurrence of c (converted to a
     char) in the string pointed to by s.  The terminating null character is
     considered part of the string; therefore if c is ‘\0’, the functions
     locate the terminating ‘\0’.

     The rindex() function is identical to index(), except it locates the last
     occurrence of c.

RETURN VALUES
     The functions index() and rindex() return a pointer to the located char‐
     acter, or NULL if the character does not appear in the string.

SEE ALSO
     memchr(3), strchr(3), strcspn(3), strpbrk(3), strrchr(3), strsep(3),
     strspn(3), strstr(3), strtok(3)

HISTORY
     The index() and rindex() functions appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
     Their prototypes existed previously in <string.h> before they were moved
     to <strings.h> for IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”) compliance.
