.Dt STRSTR 3
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm strstr , strcasestr , strnstr
|
|
.Nd locate a substring in a string
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In string.h
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strstr "const char *big" "const char *little"
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strcasestr "const char *big" "const char *little"
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn strnstr "const char *big" "const char *little" "size_t len"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strstr
|
|
function
|
|
locates the first occurrence of the null-terminated string
|
|
.Fa little
|
|
in the null-terminated string
|
|
.Fa big .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strcasestr
|
|
function is similar to
|
|
.Fn strstr ,
|
|
but ignores the case of both strings.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strnstr
|
|
function
|
|
locates the first occurrence of the null-terminated string
|
|
.Fa little
|
|
in the string
|
|
.Fa big ,
|
|
where not more than
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
characters are searched.
|
|
Characters that appear after a
|
|
.Ql \e0
|
|
character are not searched.
|
|
Since the
|
|
.Fn strnstr
|
|
function is a
|
|
.Fx
|
|
specific API, it should only be used when portablility is not a concern.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa little
|
|
is an empty string,
|
|
.Fa big
|
|
is returned;
|
|
if
|
|
.Fa little
|
|
occurs nowhere in
|
|
.Fa big ,
|
|
NULL is returned;
|
|
otherwise a pointer to the first character of the first occurrence of
|
|
.Fa little
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following sets the pointer
|
|
.Va ptr
|
|
to the
|
|
.Dq Li Bar Baz
|
|
portion of
|
|
.Va largestring :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
const char *largestring = "Foo Bar Baz";
|
|
const char *smallstring = "Bar";
|
|
char *ptr;
|
|
|
|
ptr = strstr(largestring, smallstring);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following sets the pointer
|
|
.Va ptr
|
|
to NULL, because only the first 4 characters of
|
|
.Va largestring
|
|
are searched:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
const char *largestring = "Foo Bar Baz";
|
|
const char *smallstring = "Bar";
|
|
char *ptr;
|
|
|
|
ptr = strnstr(largestring, smallstring, 4);
