DESCRIPTION

       to by s. The terminating null byte is considered to be part of the string.

       occur in the string.

EXAMPLES

   Finding the Base Name of a File
       The  following example uses strrchr() to get a pointer to the base name of a file. The strrchr() function
       searches backwards through the name of the file to find the last '/'  character  in  name.  This  pointer
       (plus one) will point to the base name of the file.

              #include <string.h>
              ...
              const char *name;
              char *basename;
              ...
              basename = strrchr(name, '/') + 1;
              ...
