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