Syntax

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

Parameters

s

(IN) Points to the string containing characters to be searched.

c

(IN) Specifies the character to locate.

Return Values

The strrchr function returns a pointer to the located character or a NULL pointer if the character does not occur in the string.

Remarks

The strrchr function locates the last 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.

     if (strrchr ("abcdeabcde",`x’) == NULL)  
        printf ("NULL\n");
