STRINGS(3) | Library Functions Manual | STRINGS(3)

# NAME

`strings` —
string operations

# LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <strings.h>`

int
`bcmp`(const void *b1, const void *b2, size_t len);

void
`bcopy`(const void *src, void *dst, size_t len);

void
`bzero`(void *b, size_t len);

int
`ffs`(int value);

char *
`index`(const char *s, int c);

char *
`rindex`(const char *s, int c);

int
`strcasecmp`(const char *s1, const char *s2);

int
`strncasecmp`(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t len);

# DESCRIPTION

These functions all live in the `<strings.h>` header file. Except for `ffs`(), they operate on strings. `index`(), `rindex`(), and `strcasecmp`() need nul-terminated strings.

See the specific manual pages for more information.

See string(3) for string functions that follow ANSI X3.159-1989 (“ANSI C89”) or ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”), bstring(3) for functions that operate on strings that are not nul-terminated, and bitstring(3) for bit-string manipulation macros.
