strsrch(3)            LPC Library Functions            strsrch(3)

NAME
     strsrch() - search for substrings in a string

SYNOPSIS
     int strsrch( string str, string substr | int char,
                  int flag );

DESCRIPTION
     strsrch() searches for the first  occurance  of  the  string
     `substr'  in  the  string  `str'.   The  last  occurance  of
     `substr' can be found by passing `-1' as  the  3rd  argument
     (which  is optional).  If the second argument is an integer,
     that character is found (a la C's strchr()/strrchr().)   The
     empty string or null value cannot be searched for.

RETURN VALUE
     The integer offset of the first (last)  match  is  returned.
     -1  is  returned if there was no match, or an error occurred
     (bad args, etc).
