SYNOPSIS         top

       #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         top

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