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, const char *s2, size_t n);
          Compare the first n characters 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>

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

   char *strcat(char *dest, const char *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 *dest, const char *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, const char *src, size_t n);
          Append  at  most  n characters from the string src to the string
          dest, returning a pointer to dest.

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

   char *strncpy(char *dest, const char *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.

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

   size_t strxfrm(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);
          Transforms  src  to  the  current  locale and copies the first n
          characters to dest.

DESCRIPTION

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