STRPOS(3)                  Library Functions                 STRPOS(3)



NAME
     strpos - give the first position of a character withing a string

SYNOPSIS
     #include <edlib.h>

     int strpos(string,key)
     char *string;
     char key;

DESCRIPTION
     Strpos searches the null terminated string 'string' for the
     first occurance of the character 'key'. The position of this
     character is returned. The terminating null character is
     considered to be part of the string for the purposes of this
     search. Thus, using strpos to find the null will give the
     same result as a strlen(3).

     Some implementations of C use a variant called scnstr.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Strpos returns a -1 if the character is not found in the string.
