strcasestr

Name

strcasestr -- locate a substring ignoring case

Synopsis

#include <string.h>

char * strcasestr(const char * s1, const char * s2);

Description

The strcasestr() shall behave as strstr(), except that it shall ignore the case of both strings. The strcasestr() function shall be locale aware; that is strcasestr() shall behave as if both strings had been converted to lower case in the current locale before the comparison is performed.

Return Value

Upon successful completion, strcasestr() shall return a pointer to the located string or a null pointer if the string is not found. If s2 points to a string with zero length, the function shall return s1.
