[PATCH V2 1/2] lib/string: add memrchr function

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Here is the detailed description for memrchr:

void *memrchr(const void *s, int c, size_t n);

The memrchr() function is like the memchr() function, except
that it searches backward from the end of the n bytes pointed
to by s instead of forward from the beginning.

The memrchr() functions return a pointer to the matching byte
or NULL if the character does not occur in the given memory
area.
