NAME

       uoffset - Finds the offset of a character in a string. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Finds  out  the  offset  (in  bytes  from the start of the string) of the character at the
       specified `index' in the string `s'. A  zero  `index'  parameter  will  return  the  first
       character  of  the  string. If `index' is negative, it counts backward from the end of the
       string, so an `index' of `-1' will return an offset to the last character. Example:

          int from_third_letter = uoffset(text_string, 2);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the offset in bytes to the specified character.
