strfind(3X)                                           strfind(3X)



NAME
     strfind, strrspn, strtrns - string manipulations

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ...  -lgen [library ...]

     #include <libgen.h>

     int strfind (const char *as1, const char *as2);

     char *strrspn (const char *string, const char *tc);

     char * strtrns (const char *str, const char *old, const char *new,
      char *result);

DESCRIPTION
     strfind returns the offset of the second string, as2, if it
     is a substring of string as1.

     strrspn returns a pointer to the first character in the
     string to be trimmed.  This character is the first character
     of a trailing substring of string that is composed com-
     pletely of characters from tc.

     strtrns transforms str and copies it into result.  Any char-
     acter that appears in old is replaced with the character in
     the same position in new.  The modified result is returned.

EXAMPLES
     /* find pointer to substring "hello" in as1 */
     i = strfind(as1, "hello");
     /* trim junk from end of string */
     s2 = strrspn(s1, "*?#$%");
     *s2 = '\0';
     /* transform lower case to upper case */
     a1[] = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
     a2[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
     s2 = strtrns(s1, a1, a2, s2);

SEE ALSO
     string(3C).

DIAGNOSTICS
     If the second string is not a substring of the first string
     strfind returns -1.
