strrchr(), strlen(), strcmp()

A pointer to the first match found, or NULL if the character does not exist in the string.
Note
Although the function takes an integer argument for the character, only the lower 8 bits
of the value are used.
STRCMP, STRICMP
Synopsis
#include <string.h>
int strcmp (const char * s1, const char * s2)
int stricmp (const char * s1, const char * s2)
Description
The strcmp() function compares its two, null terminated, string arguments and returns
a signed integer to indicate whether
s1 is less than, equal to or greater than s2. The
comparison is done with the standard collating sequence, which is that of the ASCII
character set.
The
stricmp() function is the case-insensitive version of this function.
Example
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void
main (void)
{
int i;
if((i = strcmp("ABC", "ABc")) < 0)
printf("ABC is less than ABc\n");
else if(i > 0)
printf("ABC is greater than ABc\n");
else
printf("ABC is equal to ABc\n");
}
