char * strchrnul	(	const char *	s,
		int	c
	)

Find the first occurrence of a character in a string.

Parameters

s	string to
c	character to find

Returns: Pointer to first occurrence of the character or to null byte at the end of the string if not found

char * strchr	(	const char *	s,
		int	c
	)

Find the first occurrence of a character in a string.

Parameters

s	string to
c	character to find

Returns: Pointer to first occurrence of the character or to nullptr if not found

int strcmp	(	const char *	s1,
		const char *	s2
	)

Compare two strings.

Parameters

s1	first string
s2	second string

Returns: an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if first string is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than second string

int strncmp	(	const char *	s1,
		const char *	s2,
		size_t	n
	)

Compare two strings.

Parameters

s1	first string
s2	second string
n	number of bytes to compare

Returns: an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the given number of bytes of the first string are found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than second string

size_t strlen ( const char * s )

Calculate the length of a string.

Parameters

s	pointer to a string

Returns: number of bytes in the string

size_t strnlen	(	const char *	s,
		size_t	maxlen
	)

Calculate the length of a string, limited by maxlen.

Parameters

s	pointer to a string
maxlen	upper limit of length to be returned

Returns: number of bytes in the string, or maxlen – whichever is smaller

char * strcpy	(	char *	dest,
		const char *	src
	)

Copy the contents of a string including the terminating null byte (\0)

Parameters

dest	destination string buffer
src	source string buffer

Returns: a pointer to the destination string buffer

Note: Beware of buffer overruns!

char * strncpy	(	char *	dest,
		const char *	src,
		size_t	n
	)

Copy the contents of a string up to a maximum length or the terminating null byte (\0), whatever comes first.

Parameters

dest	destination string buffer
src	source string buffer
n	maximum number of bytes to copy

Returns: a pointer to the destination string buffer

Note: If there is no null byte (\0) among the first n bytes, the destination will not be null-terminated!

void * memcpy	(	void *__restrict__	dest,
		void const *__restrict__	src,
		size_t	size
	)

Copy a memory area.

Parameters

dest	destination buffer
src	source buffer
size	number of bytes to copy

Returns: pointer to destination

Note: The memory must not overlap!

void * memmove	(	void *	dest,
		void const *	src,
		size_t	size
	)

Copy a memory area while the source may overlap with the destination.

Parameters

dest	destination buffer
src	source buffer
size	number of bytes to copy

Returns: pointer to destination

void * memset	(	void *	dest,
		int	pattern,
		size_t	size
	)

Fill a memory area with a pattern.

Parameters

dest	destination buffer
pattern	single byte pattern
size	number of bytes to fill with pattern

Returns: pointer to destination

int memcmp	(	const void *	s1,
		const void *	s2,
		size_t	n
	)

Compare a memory area.

Parameters

s1	first memory buffer
s2	second memory buffer
n	number of bytes to compare

Returns: an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first n bytes of s1 is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than the first n bytes of s2.
