Syntax

  #include <string.h>  
   
  char *strchr  (  
     const char   *s,  
     int           c);
  

Parameters

s

(IN) Points to the string containing characters for which to search.

c

(IN) Specifies the character for which to search.

Return Values

strchr returns a pointer to the located character, or NULL if the character does not occur in the string.

Remarks

The strchr function or macro locates the first occurrence of c (converted to a char) in the string pointed to by s. The terminating NULL character is considered to be part of the string.
