SYNOPSIS

       #include <strings.h>

       int strcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2);
              Compare the strings s1 and s2 ignoring case.

       int strncasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n);
              Compare the first n characters of the strings s1 and s2 ignoring case.

       char *index(const char *s, int c);
              Return a pointer to the first occurrence of the character c in the string s.

       char *rindex(const char *s, int c);
              Return a pointer to the last occurrence of the character c in the string s.

       #include <string.h>

       char *stpcpy(char *dest, const char *src);
              Copy  a  string  from  src to dest, returning a pointer to the end of the resulting
              string at dest.

       char *strcat(char *dest, const char *src);
              Append the string src to the string dest, returning a pointer dest.

       char *strchr(const char *s, int c);
              Return a pointer to the first occurrence of the character c in the string s.

       int strcmp(const char *s1, const char *s2);
              Compare the strings s1 with s2.

       int strcoll(const char *s1, const char *s2);
              Compare the strings s1 with s2 using the current locale.

       char *strcpy(char *dest, const char *src);
              Copy the string src to dest, returning a pointer to the start of dest.

       size_t strcspn(const char *s, const char *reject);
              Calculate the length of the initial segment of the string s which does not  contain
              any of bytes in the string reject,

       char *strdup(const char *s);
              Return a duplicate of the string s in memory allocated using malloc(3).

       char *strfry(char *string);
              Randomly swap the characters in string.

       size_t strlen(const char *s);
              Return the length of the string s.

       char *strncat(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);
              Append  at  most  n  characters from the string src to the string dest, returning a
              pointer to dest.

       int strncmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n);
              Compare at most n bytes of the strings s1 and s2.

       char *strncpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);
              Copy at most n bytes from string src to dest, returning a pointer to the  start  of
              dest.

       char *strpbrk(const char *s, const char *accept);
              Return a pointer to the first occurrence in the string s of one of the bytes in the
              string accept.

       char *strrchr(const char *s, int c);
              Return a pointer to the last occurrence of the character c in the string s.

       char *strsep(char **stringp, const char *delim);
              Extract the initial token in stringp that is delimited  by  one  of  the  bytes  in
              delim.

       size_t strspn(const char *s, const char *accept);
              Calculate the length of the starting segment in the string s that consists entirely
              of bytes in accept.

       char *strstr(const char *haystack, const char *needle);
              Find the first occurrence of the substring needle in the string haystack, returning
              a pointer to the found substring.

       char *strtok(char *s, const char *delim);
              Extract tokens from the string s that are delimited by one of the bytes in delim.

       size_t strxfrm(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);
              Transforms src to the current locale and copies the first n characters to dest.

DESCRIPTION

       The  string  functions  perform  string  operations  on  null-terminated strings.  See the
       individual man pages for descriptions of each function.
