strchrnul

string search character or NUL

Standard C library (libc-lc)

#define _GNU_SOURCE  /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <string.h>
char *strchrnul(const char *s, int c);

The strchrnul() function is like strchr(3) except that if c is not found in s, then it returns a pointer to the null byte at the end of s.

It is equivalent to both of the following expressions:


strchr(s, c) ?: strnul(s)
s + strcspn(s, (char [2]){c, '\0'})

The strchrnul() function returns a pointer to the matched character, or a pointer to the null byte at the end of s if the character is not found.

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
