memory raw search character

NAME

rawmemchr - memory raw search character

LIBRARY

Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

#define _GNU_SOURCE  /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <string.h>

[[deprecated]] void *rawmemchr(const void *s, int c);

DESCRIPTION

The rawmemchr() function is similar to memchr(), but it assumes (i.e., the programmer knows for certain) that an instance of c lies somewhere in the memory area starting at the location pointed to by s.

If an instance of c is not found, the behavior is undefined. Use either strlen(3) or memchr(3) instead.

RETURN VALUE

The rawmemchr() function returns a pointer to the matching byte.
