LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h>

int strcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2);
    Compare the strings s1 and s2 ignoring case.

int strncasecmp(const char s1[.n], const char s2[.n], size_t n);
    Compare the first n bytes of the strings s1 and s2 ignoring case.

char *index(const char *s, int c);
    Identical to strchr(3).

char *rindex(const char *s, int c);
    Identical to strrchr(3).

#include <string.h>

char *stpcpy(char *restrict dest, const char *restrict src);
    Copy a string from src to dest, returning a pointer to the end of the resulting string at dest.

char *strcat(char *restrict dest, const char *restrict src);
    Append the string src to the string dest, returning a pointer dest.

char *strchr(const char *s, int c);
    Return a pointer to the first occurrence of the character c in the string s.

int strcmp(const char *s1, const char *s2);
    Compare the strings s1 with s2.

int strcoll(const char *s1, const char *s2);
    Compare the strings s1 with s2 using the current locale.

char *strcpy(char *restrict dest, const char *restrict src);
    Copy the string src to dest, returning a pointer to the start of dest.

size_t strcspn(const char *s, const char *reject);
    Calculate the length of the initial segment of the string s which does not contain any of bytes in the string reject,

char *strdup(const char *s);
    Return a duplicate of the string s in memory allocated using malloc(3).

char *strfry(char *string);
    Randomly swap the characters in string.

size_t strlen(const char *s);
    Return the length of the string s.

char *strncat(char dest[restrict strlen(.dest) + .n + 1],
           const char src[restrict .n],
           size_t n);
    Append at most n bytes from the unterminated string src to the string dest, returning a pointer to dest.

int strncmp(const char s1[.n], const char s2[.n], size_t n);
    Compare at most n bytes of the strings s1 and s2.

char *strpbrk(const char *s, const char *accept);
    Return a pointer to the first occurrence in the string s of one of the bytes in the string accept.

char *strrchr(const char *s, int c);
    Return a pointer to the last occurrence of the character c in the string s.

char *strsep(char **restrict stringp, const char *restrict delim);
    Extract the initial token in stringp that is delimited by one of the bytes in delim.

size_t strspn(const char *s, const char *accept);
    Calculate the length of the starting segment in the string s that consists entirely of bytes in accept.

char *strstr(const char *haystack, const char *needle);
    Find the first occurrence of the substring needle in the string haystack, returning a pointer to the found substring.

char *strtok(char *restrict s, const char *restrict delim);
    Extract tokens from the string s that are delimited by one of the bytes in delim.

size_t strxfrm(char dest[restrict .n], const char src[restrict .n],
            size_t n);
    Transforms src to the current locale and copies the first n bytes to dest.

char *strncpy(char dest[restrict .n], const char src[restrict .n],
           size_t n);
    Fill a fixed-size buffer with leading non-null bytes from a source array, padding with null bytes as needed.

DESCRIPTION
The string functions perform operations on null-terminated strings. See the individual man pages for descriptions of each function.
