strrchr, _fstrrchr

Scans a string for the last occurrence of a given character.

Defined in header <string.h>

Syntax

#include <string.h>
Near  version: char  *strrchr(const  char *s, int c);
Far version: char  far * far _fstrrchr(const  char far *s, int c)

Portability

Remarks

strrchr scans a string in the reverse direction, looking for a specific character, strrchr finds the last occurrence of the character c in the string s. The null-terminator is considered to be part of the string.

Return value

strrchr returns a pointer to the last occurrence of the character c. If c does not occur in s, strrchr returns null.
