.Sh NAME
.Nm mbrune ,
.Nm mbrrune ,
.Nm mbmb
.Nd multibyte rune support for C
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In rune.h
.Ft char *
.Fn mbrune "const char *string" "rune_t rune"
.Ft char *
.Fn mbrrune "const char *string" "rune_t rune"
.Ft char *
.Fn mbmb "const char *string" "char *pattern"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
These routines provide the corresponding functionality of
.Fn strchr ,
.Fn strrchr
and
.Fn strstr
for multibyte strings.
.Pp
The
.Fn mbrune
function locates the first occurrence of
.Fn rune
in the string pointed to by
.Ar string .
The terminating
.Dv NUL
character is considered part of the string.
If
.Fa rune
is
.Ql \e0 ,
.Fn mbrune
locates the terminating
.Ql \e0 .
.Pp
The
.Fn mbrrune
function
locates the last occurrence of
.Fa rune
in the string
.Fa string .
If
.Fa rune
is
.Ql \e0 ,
.Fn mbrune
locates the terminating
.Ql \e0 .
.Pp
The
.Fn mbmb
function locates the first occurrence of the null-terminated string
.Fa pattern
in the null-terminated string
.Fa string .
If
.Fa pattern
is the empty string,
.Fn mbmb
returns
.Fa string ;
if
.Fa pattern
occurs nowhere in
.Fa string ,
.Fn mbmb
returns
.Dv NULL ;
otherwise
.Fn mbmb
returns a pointer to the first character of the first occurrence of
.Fa pattern .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The function
.Fn mbrune
returns a pointer to the located character, or
.Dv NULL
if the character does not appear in the string.
.Pp
The
.Fn mbrrune
function
returns a pointer to the character, or
.Dv NULL
if the character does not appear in the string.
.Pp
The
.Fn mbmb
function
returns a pointer to the
.Fa pattern ,
or
.Dv NULL
if the
.Fa pattern
does not appear in the string.

.Sh HISTORY
The
.Fn mbrune ,
.Fn mbrrune ,
and
