strsrch(3)

NAME
strsrch() - search for substrings in a string

SYNOPSIS
int strsrch(string str, string substr | int char, int flag);

DESCRIPTION
strsrch() searches for the first occurance of the string `substr' in the string `str'. The last occurance of `substr' can be found by passing `-1' as the 3rd argument (which is optional). If the second argument is an integer, that character is found (a la C's strchr()/strrchr().) The empty string or null value cannot be searched for.

RETURN VALUE
The integer offset of the first (last) match is returned. -1 is returned if there was no match, or an error occurred (bad args, etc).
