.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR strstr ()
|
|
function finds the first occurrence of the substring
|
|
.I needle
|
|
in the string
|
|
.IR haystack .
|
|
The terminating null bytes (\(aq\\0\(aq) are not compared.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.BR strcasestr ()
|
|
function is like
|
|
.BR strstr (),
|
|
but ignores the case of both arguments.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
These functions return a pointer to the beginning of the
|
|
located substring, or NULL if the substring is not found.
|
|
.SH ATTRIBUTES
|
|
.SS Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
|
|
The
|
|
.BR strstr ()
|
|
function is thread-safe.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR strcasestr ()
|
|
function is thread-safe with exceptions.
|
|
It can be safely used in multithreaded applications, as long as
|
|
.BR setlocale (3)
|
|
is not called to change the locale during its execution.
|
|
.SH CONFORMING TO
|
|
The
|
|
.BR strstr ()
|
|
function conforms to C89 and C99.
|
|
The
|
|
.BR strcasestr ()
|
|
function is a nonstandard extension.
|
|
.\" .SH BUGS
|
|
.\" Early versions of Linux libc (like 4.5.26) would not allow
|
|
.\" an empty
|
|
.\" .I needle
|
|
.\" argument for
|
|
.\" .BR strstr ().
|
|
.\" Later versions (like 4.6.27) work correctly,
|
|
.\" and return
|
|
.\" .IR haystack
|
|
.\" when
|
|
.\" .I needle
|
|
.\" is empty.
