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 bytes 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 bytes 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
              bytes to dest.

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