   8 ANSI_SYNOPSIS
   9         #include <string.h>
  10         void *memchr(const void *<[src]>, int <[c]>, size_t <[length]>);
  11
  12 TRAD_SYNOPSIS
  13         #include <string.h>
  14         void *memchr(<[src]>, <[c]>, <[length]>)
  15         void *<[src]>;
  16         void *<[c]>;
  17         size_t <[length]>;
  18
  19 DESCRIPTION
  20         This function searches memory starting at <<*<[src]>>> for the
  21         character <[c]>.  The search only ends with the first
  22         occurrence of <[c]>, or after <[length]> characters; in
  23         particular, <<NULL>> does not terminate the search.
  24
  25 RETURNS
  26         If the character <[c]> is found within <[length]> characters
  27         of <<*<[src]>>>, a pointer to the character is returned. If
  28         <[c]> is not found, then <<NULL>> is returned.

  30 PORTABILITY
  31 <<memchr>>  requires no supporting OS subroutines.
