#include <strings.h>

int strcasecmp(const char **/s1/, const char */s2/);*

Compare the strings s1 and s2 ignoring case.

(no term)

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

char *index(const char **/s/, int c);*

Return a pointer to the first occurrence of the character c in the string s.

char *rindex(const char **/s/, int c);*

Return a pointer to the last occurrence of the character c in the string s.

#include <string.h>

(no term)

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.

(no term)

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.

(no term)

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

(no term)

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.

(no term)

char *strncat(char *restrict */dest/, const char restrict */src/“,*/size_t/*”n);* :: Append at most n bytes from the string src to the string dest, returning a pointer to dest.

(no term)

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

(no term)

char *strncpy(char *restrict */dest/, const char restrict */src/“,*/size_t/*”n);* :: Copy at most n bytes from string src to dest, returning a pointer to the start of dest.

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.

(no term)

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.

(no term)

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.

(no term)

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.

(no term)

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.

(no term)

size_t strxfrm(char *restrict */dst/, const char restrict */src/“,*/size_t/*”n);* :: Transforms src to the current locale and copies the first n bytes to dst.

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