STRSTR(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		     STRSTR(3)

NAME
     strstr, strcasestr, strnstr — locate a substring in a string

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <string.h>

     char *
     strstr(const char *big, const char *little);

     char *
     strcasestr(const char *big, const char *little);

     char *
     strnstr(const char *big, const char *little, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION
     The strstr() function locates the first occurrence of the null-terminated
     string little in the null-terminated string big.

     The strcasestr() function is similar to strstr(), but ignores the case of
     both strings.

     The strnstr() function locates the first occurrence of the null-termi‐
     nated string little in the string big, where not more than len characters
     are searched.  Characters that appear after a ‘\0’ character are not
     searched.	Since the strnstr() function is a FreeBSD specific API, it
     should only be used when portability is not a concern.

RETURN VALUES
     If little is an empty string, big is returned; if little occurs nowhere
     in big, NULL is returned; otherwise a pointer to the first character of
     the first occurrence of little is returned.

EXAMPLES
     The following sets the pointer ptr to the "Bar Baz" portion of
     largestring:

	   const char *largestring = "Foo Bar Baz";
	   const char *smallstring = "Bar";
	   char *ptr;

	   ptr = strstr(largestring, smallstring);

     The following sets the pointer ptr to NULL, because only the first 4
     characters of largestring are searched:

	   const char *largestring = "Foo Bar Baz";
	   const char *smallstring = "Bar";
	   char *ptr;

	   ptr = strnstr(largestring, smallstring, 4);

STANDARDS
     The strstr() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (“ISO C90”).
